The basic idea behind this was that "everyone" else is cruising at 2000, 2500, 3000 etc.
On the other side, if everyone think this is a great idea, 2000 and 3000 will be virtually empty.
Whats your experience and choice when it comes to cruise altitudes?
I prefer very odd heights too. 2750 etc but like you say the evens are probably just as safe nowadays.
I am amazed there are not more collisions, on some days there is so much traffic up there.
