Does this sound fishy to anyone else? It sounds like ALPA is trying to take credit for this notam? That notam has been in effect from the minute these RNAV departures were valid.
I'm not sure why ATC doesn't want to use them. They make jobs on both sides of the radio 15 times easier. Is it due to lack of training on the controllers' part?
Why would they go through all of the effort to make these nice new RNAV depts then put the restriction on that we cannot file for them.
