Is there any way to do this, and still provide the DoD the airspace they need?
The problem is SC to FL and DC to BOS cuts through most of the east coast training airspace. You can not cut a tunnel through the air space you would have to share it with guys diving from FL450 while looking over their shoulder. It works next weekend because no one is working next weekend. Or if they were the boss just told them they aren't.
