Big airplanes don't have to be vectored out of the way of little airplanes

advisories of the little airplanes and they may request vectors out of the
way, but that's all.

So if I am circling over my airport (00V) at about the same altitude
as a 737 coming into COS, my altitude is unverifed by COS approach,
and the 737 path will intersect mine within a mile or closer, the COS
approach controller will leave it to the pilot to avoid a midair?

Look up 00V, KCOS and the BRK VOR.
