PH-UKU,

We are well aware of the advisory routes and get our traffic info from London Mil. (AWACS???) You say it's 'an accident waiting to happen'. Well, it hasn't happened because we know where the traffic is and avoid it.

One doesn't get to become a pilot in the military without knowing one's @rse from one's elbow. A mil pilot who displays any tendencies of 'bad airmanship' would not remain in the military for long. The only 'bad airmanship' here comes from civvie halfwits taking shortcuts across well known (and well publicised) mil AIAAs, then complaining about an airprox. And on the subject of GA idiots in MATZs with no R/T call, it happens on a daily basis.
