No worries

Just as an insight, do you think it prudent to operate outside of CAS under a RAS/ traffic/deconfliction service in area where there are known to be many mil fast jets operating.

From our side of the house, we bend over backwards to accommodate the requests to stay out of your way, we never see you take a 20degree hdg change to stay out of our way.

It is only a matter of time before the the NEW-ADN becomes class A permanently and the incessant reporting of RAs that are non-events does not help. Clearly exercises and large force packages tend to use the MDAs under segregations but availability/sea state/ volume will often see many fast jet ac legitimately using OTA E (Northumberland east of scottish TMA) and I sometimes question the prudence of airliners transiting up and down under a RAS.

The difference is, I don't pay for my fuel and I guess this one will have to be a case of agree to disagree.
