What actually happens is that one you have control of an area like this it is much more convienient to say 'RCOCAS' and keep the entire area sterile.
Strangely it seems the the less busy this type of airspace is - the more difficult it is to get a transit. Presumably it messes up the nice empty radar display or disturbs the tumble weed?
I understand that the very large majority of the objections from aviation organisations who are against the proposal, have been given in the above format or something very similar, i.e. shallow and without foundation, the CAA and DAP will almost certainly put these on the "not worthy of further consideration" pile.
Whereas those who have taken the trouble to study the proposal in detail and put their objections constructively will have their comments heard and taken seriously.
Its worthy of note that, despite JUPOs condescending suggestions about the consultation document and the ability of councils and other professional bodies to understand it, the majority of such organisations have asked for further information or even a presentation and then put in their "support" or "no comment" vote.
Oh and by the way, it appears that the Military have no objections either.
Three days to go chaps, scurry along, if you ask nicely the LAA might give you a lift to the polling station!
