I do mate, and you are a cracking man to have on box one for if we have to stick her down somewhere and for getting WX passing ETA's etc. You provided a service which is appreciated.

But realistically I have no expectations that you can keep me away from harm with separation from other traffic, and neither will you try and move me in G.

ATSOCAS providers from regional airports give me absolutely nothing but grief and bollocks. They are only talking to me for their benefit. If I don't get in the way of their CAT inbounds or outbounds I get absolutely nothing in the way of a functional safety service apart from being able to shout mayday and that can just as well be done on 121.5.
