I also remember a Nats meeting in which flying by class, instead of  
by frequency, was discussed.  Rick said (actually more like  
'bellowed') that frequency conflict problems would make it unsafe and  
"nobody in the northwest would put up with it".  We'd been doing it  
in the southeast for many years.  Well, here we are flying by class.
