“WRONG!
Center Airspace is some of the busiest and most congested airspace in the air, all flying at high speed.
Remember, the earth is curved, so everything is eventually on collision course.
Small time pilots like yourself should go visit a Center and “Watch and Learn”.
But your ego couldn’t stand the “humbling”.”

What the hell are you speaking of....a fine controller like you should know that Class B is the busiest.

The only reason you “work” for Center is because you can’t handle MEM Approach, and DTN wouldn’t hire you.

I never said that have never ventured into Class A, and “high speed” is the last thing I would classify a Beech King Air 90; she gets a great fuel burn in the FLs. My regular ride is a Mooney.

I have no ego...i have issues with folk who post ignorantly.

A Mooney is a fine aircraft, and one that will get you killed if you don;t think ahead of it.
But Class B airspace being the busiest,I dis agree.
Yes it's busy and more than a handful for most controllers.
But where do you think most of the compression and lineup gets done?
Take a look at Philadelphia Center, it's easy to tour because it's adjacent to the International Airport, Or Houston Center, not far from IAH (that's Bush International, just to piss off the liberals), or Phoenix Center (located in Albuquerque), or LA Center (Now there's some complex airspace, but so's the greater LA area with all those military bases and VFR low level routes).
Watch them, if they'll let you, what them do a recovery wave into any of the major hubs.
It really is fantastic to watch them control a shoestring operation of arrivals over 100 NM long and, at the same time, while continuously doing the automated handoffs to the TRACON, who continues to work the compression of arrivals, and do the standard four-post operation of separating the departures with the arrivals, as well as the low-level enroute traffic.
And guess who gets most of those departures and enroutes at the edge of the TRACON's airspace?
Center.

So crawl back into your Mooney, before you have to sell it, because you lost your Class II physical due to old age, blood pressure, diabetes, or eye problems, or a mild heart attack.
Go back to your local mentality, because you're getting older every day.
Enjoy it while you can.
