Pilotweb,

Not sure if you realize it or not, but you are dealing with a person
(Mxmaniac) who plays games on MSFS and does not fly a real plane.

Unfortunately, the value of your website would be wasted on the individual
you are dealing with since he has been trolling these aviation newsgroups
for sometime. Check out his posting history and you will clearly see what
I am talking about (especially his responses to real world situations).

You may want to respond to those who would be more appreciative of the
time
you spend in your replies.

Agreed - however his comment is of interest to the group as it raises the
hoary old chestnut that the role of ATC is to protect IFR.

Certainly that is the way it occurs here in Oz but the reality is that
airspace is a national asset and the role of ATC is to manage safety for all
in that public asset.

It is well summed up in the ICAO principle of first come first served except
where defence or system operational efficiency overrides. Of course, this
is read as commercial priority overrides particularly where ATC staffing is
constrained to save a dollar - so VFR drops out of the queue.
