Capn Bloggs you state

When are you going to get it into your head that ATCs say there is no extra workload running C as opposed to E?
Okay Capn Bloggs, I issue you a challenge. Get ONE practising ATC to state this point under his or her own name.

I have spoken to literally dozens and dozens of ATCs and they have said that there is absolutely no doubt that C requires extra workload and extra responsibility when compared to E. They have said only fools would say otherwise.

By the way, if you think typical ATCs are so frightened of talking about safety issues that they can’t sign their real name, why don’t you get Civil Air to issue a statement stating that Civil Air believes that there is “no extra workload running C as opposed to E”.

I will tell you what – you will never get Civil Air to say such a thing because it’s not truthful.

And, Capn Bloggs, the US “implied clearance” (as you call it) is exactly the same in D or C. So there would be no change.
