g'day all,
I work in aispace over the top end, high and low frequencies.
Before TCAS, many ATCs were in the habit of calling opposite direction traffic at close levels so pilots wouldn't suddenly see a windscreen full of lights and think "now who the hell was that?"
I've gotten out of this habit for TCAS equipped acft, but I'd like to know if you'd like to know that some one else is out there coming your way 1000ft apart, especially if dodging weather.
