NATCA Going Down in Flames

Big airplanes don't have to be vectored out of the way of little airplanes
due to unverified altitudes and such.

Ok, at least it makes things easier on controllers if they are talking
to the spam cans, no? And that makes things safer for the other aircraft?

Could go either way. If the controller is talking to the spam can and has a
verified altitude that makes the traffic a non-factor then traffic doesn't
have to be issued. If the controller is talking to the spam can and has a
verified altitude that makes the traffic a factor then traffic has to be
issued to both parties.



And that makes things safer for the other aircraft?


Yup.

And that makes things safer for the other aircraft?
Yup.

So, maybe we should charge for aiding the controllers and the other
aircraft, rather than being charged for the assistance we are being
provided.

Makes sense to me. The ATC system is structured as it is to serve the
airlines primarily, for them to complain that GA is not paying it's fair
share is absurd.
