Talk to Denver to help with their traffic flow? Sorry.


This is my biggest worry about the "post user fee response issue" by pvt
aircraft. Here in the greater NYC area ATC welcomes flight following
requests. It allows them to verify target aircraft alt and intensions, and
improves the mixed traffic flow along the various inbound and outbound
corridors. I can envision many VFR targets remaining silent under any user
fee system, resulting in many "traffic unverified" callouts. I've also
noticed a few aircraft outside the mode C vale not showing up on TIS, and I
can only assume they are running xpdr off. This will get worse under user
fees. The resulting FAA backlash will be onerous, no doubt.
