Ok ok. You win.
There is simply no way of even trialling class E terminal airspace using en route controllers as they do in other leading aviation countries.
Just give traffic info and let us pilots do the air traffic " control " function as we fly around in IMC in the terminal area.
Dumb me. I thought controllors were trained to " control " aircraft and seeing that the risk is higher in the terminal area I thought that's where the service would be provided.
