The taxes my company pays, and the taxes I pay are used to fund these testosterone fuelled people to play their games in the middle of the main North South civilian air corridor.
It's fair enough to complain, but keep it realistic. These people (probably a few oestrogen fuelled ones too) are generally working very hard to get to and maintain professional standards that all taxpayers, civil and military, should expect of our air force front liners, not playing games. They need a lot of airspace, and unless the taxpayer wants to stump up multi billions to move the infrastructure somewhere else, there will be some inconvenience for some people sometimes.

Nobody wants to keep airspace active for longer than it needs to be, and it changes over time anyway (witness the Pearce 50 mile circle 30 years ago that's now a much smaller funny shaped thing because they've bent over backwards to accommodate civil traffic, or the East Sale airspace that closes when not in use and has transit lanes so people can get through it easily).
