That is not my experience. I fly into that area all the time (I primarily
fly out of CDW), and I cannot recall the last time that occurred. It *has*
occurred; don't get me wrong. But it's been a long time since.

I should clarify -- NY approach is happy to provide flight following
further out, but when I get close to the class B and switch
frequencies, they direct me underneath. I've come in VFR three times
to KTEB or KCDW from the north and have had the same thing all three
times.


All the best,
