As for the rest of your posts, maybe you are an example of what is wrong with ATC in Australia, and a complete inability to believe that it is done far better in a number of countries, of which US is one.
By far better, I mean better separation assurance standards combined with more efficient traffic handling.
Tootle pip!!
What is the definition of a separation assurance standard? I'm all over a separation standard but since everyone does the assurance standard better than us I am curious.
