Freedom7, hope we are not talking at cross purposes, please allow me to clarify;
- I was basing my discussion on the scenario as posed at Broome by Dick a few posts above, nothing inferred towards yourself - "stealing thunder" was merely an acknowledgement that you had yourself offered to respond to that scenario (or a more specific version thereof?)
- In my E airspace example I left out what I thought was a self evident inference of a potential "bang"
- Tracking via overhead Broome vs OCTA were just two means of how to solve that particular conflict in C
- My last para alluded to the expectation of some people to being able to proceed A DCT B (eg 20 miles abeam Broome) without accepting that this could adversely impact on the processing of other aircraft - whether complicating the situation in C or potentially generating a near miss or worse in E
I am in full agreement with your concluding statements, of course.
Cheers "k"
