Your post is so ridiculous I wonder if you are one of those military-types trying to justify the status quo.

A better example in relation to the traffic lights would be if the traffic lights were set so that vehicles had to remain three miles apart on the road.

NTZ, the situation is as simple as this: other leading aviation countries have regulations and procedures which facilitate traffic in the safest possible way. We have never updated to these procedures, so it means that our air traffic controllers are treated like s***. I have spoken to controllers who have said they would love to use the procedures that controllers use in other countries, such as those the USA, Canada and the UK are allowed to use, but it’s just not so.

I have had military people tell me that the RAAF is going to move to these modern procedures, but after decades of being told this, nothing has happened.

My suggestion is you open your mind and think laterally, rather than keep it set in concrete.
