Could it possibly be that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing?

...coupled with that well worn statement "it isn't in my job description".

I think so.

When I was a student pilot, I filed a flight plan for my night cross-country to an airport S. of Phoenix. When I got in the air and went to open the flight plan with FSS, they told me, "That airport is closed at night. Didn't the briefer tell you that?".

I wanted to say, "Do you think I would be flying there in the dark of night if he had?", but I kept it professional and filed for a different airport.

Most of these FAA guys and gals mean well, but they are still bureaucrats and are protected from any consequences when they screw up.

But when a pilot follows their instructions and flies into the wrong airspace, it's the pilots fault, legally speaking.

See my tagline
