What's so difficult to understand? I'll make it easy for you... Fact: NavCanada is charging for Airspace use. My opinion: They should only charge for their "direct" services Fact: Many other countries have private ATS companies that do the same. My opinion: None Fact: The US ATC system has overall c...
