Seriously, though...Without the visual/request option in VMC. I believe ATC would be required to radar separate us, as if we didn't have a window to look through, or like the WX was at mins. But, it is a request. And, if Tony isn't comfortable with it, that's his call. The rest of us can just sit there and whine a few more minutes in the Conga line.
Well here in Pinehurst/Southern Pines the trees really are 90% air - well, maybe at least 75%.
I agree with the spirit of the request to maintain visual seperation, but I support the Capt's right to refuse. This particular Capt just scores low in the Style Category.
