nail hit on head!
Triadic
At last, you have summerised the problem, culture.
I agree VFR pilots will need as much educating as their IFR RPT counterparts as will some levels of ATC. I for instance would like to see identical Civil airspace procedures, particularly around Darwin and Townsville which are for all intents and purposes civil airports.
(Mike Smith and I seem to disagree, I prefer civil ATC, he thinks Mil ATC are more easy to get on with).
Once we see where the problems lay AOPA will respond with safety articles etc in the near future.
