MJBOW2,
If it were you could NOT assign a lower level of risk mitigation (Class D) in the highest risk area and then put a higher level of risk mitigation (Class C) where the risk is actually less. Its a remarkably simple concept
Take your blinkers off and use a bit of commonsense: make it Class D all the way to Class A. Alphabet soup airspace. Illogical categories of airspace with inappropriate rules for each category. Exactly why ICAO is getting rid of it.

You Class E deniers never mention that there was actually no chance of collision with the Tobago in Launceston as the Tobago pilot had seen and avoided the 737.
Please tell me you're joking! No chance? That's not what the ATSB said. And funny about the RA. Yes, they eventually missed by a few hundred feet. Was it planned that way? If it was, any system that relies on a pilot avoiding a jet by a few hundred feet when the jet crew doesn't even know he's there is fundamentally flawed. This point alone demonstrates that you NAStronauts have no credibility.

instead of letting your imagination run wild, just ask how it works. They have been doing it with the NAS airspace for years in the United States. Clearly neither of you have any experience with the proposed airspace.
How does it work, MJBOW2? And when considering your answer, I will not be cancelling IFR just to make it work.
