[Quote] "For those who are criticizing the FAA: There appears to be so much ignorance about how we, the users of the National Airspace System ( I’m a pilot and launch operations engineer) coordinate with FAA. Airspace reservation must account for multiple factors affecting all users of the National Airspace System. Besides expected normal operations, there’s also accounting for emergency situations that could affect other users ( scheduled and unscheduled air and water traffic) as well as people who live under or transit the area under that airspace.
