Doug is well aware that AOPA has welcomed any movement towards the US system from day one. So far that has not changed. Hardly sitting on the fence old son! IMHO one of the biggest challenges will be to educate our controllers that there are substantial differences between B, C, and D airspace already, it appears to me that it is all B to them. Not their fault really, I departed Scone this pm and an inbound advised that he would maintain 1,000 feet above me until we passed. Sounded to me more like IFR standards than radio alerted see and avoid. He would have a busy time in the Los Angeles basin.
