Why??
Has anyone bothered to discover who is likely to do this, and why they do?
Is any attempt made to make boudaries follow roads, rivers or other things that are easily visible?
If the airspace and procedures are user friendly there may not be so many VCA's.
Civil non airline aircraft outnumber all the others and yet the major part of the airspace is reserved for the others. And with our complex, ever changing system it is not surprising that there are some VCA's.The real problem is one of attitude. VFR aircraft (you know, the hundreds of light aircraft that keep our inland areas going) are considered an incompetent nuisance. Our regulators live on the coast, so will never understand or care. Their job is to ensure that our government is never sucessfully sued for squillions of dollars after an airline prang.
There is a way to solve the oversized airspace problem. Just make anyone who wants exclusive use of airspace pay for the priviledge according to the size and the time it is restricted. If it is the military the money should come out of the military budget.
Maybe ASA should pay for the use of the airspace they earn money from.
I bet we would see some changes then.

Sorry for thread drifting your thread
Who was it directed at ..... anyone who cared to comment. And no it was not a shot at Willy ATC but the airpsace system overall.
