A few problems with Maaaate's plan of handing out codes to all willy-nilly:

Joe Farmer gets his code on Tuesday, but its still dialled up on Friday when it has been given to somebody else. There have been instances where our track symbol leaps from central Australia (where the B744 is) to appear in a LOA doing 90 knots...

Most aircraft in radar coverage will cross a partition, so the only information the controller would get from this plan is a black code, half of the time. The main effect would be to lose the basic info that the track is a VFR doin his thing, rather than an IFR wandering around 30nm from where his flight plan thinks he is...

Even if there were enuf codes for all Australian aircraft, we should perhaps leave a few spare for visitors from forn part...

What planet is Weasil from? Does he understand the unnatural powers of the entity known as Dick Head? Does he understand we are not grousing about knobs in management in general but a particular speaking P*nis??? Is he just a little peeved how spectacularly dull the North American forum is?
