I'm just one of a number of FCs who have been following this all the way thru. It's amazing but the more I hear the case just gets flimsier and more ridiculous, it should be stopped before it does some real damage.
It has already affected us with this having to get acknowledgement that pilots are responsible for terrain clearance. Where does it end? Do we need to read the whole JSP definition just to cover our own a***s.
Unfortunately the USAF seem to be frequently unaware of our procedures, we frequently get 15s pitching up in OTA C and doing their own thing, right in the middle of an 8-ship of F3s. Not having a go at them totally, maybe we could be more pro-active and make sure they know. The thing is they are a pleasure to control - in sterile airspace!
Spot, to you best of luck, i sincerely hope you get the result you clearly deserve.
