How are they going to advise/ping a pilot who has flown into controlled airspace if that pilot is on 126.7?
I will continue to monitor both frequencies as well as discrete frequencies as required even though I fly VFR only these days.
They've only ever been able to warn anyone if they are on the same frequency. It's only over been mandatory to monitor area over 5000'. So no change, and no one is saying not to monitor area anytime you want. What it will do is get rid of the ridiculous requirement to make circuit calls on area frequency for airfields not marked on the chart.
