- As controllers, we are required to issue traffic to converging aircraft
- while using mimimum seperation: (enroute, it's 5 miles lateral, and 1,000'
- vertical, except above 29,000, where it becomes 2,000' vertical).
- The other day is issued traffic to a hip pilot enroute to MSP from LGA as
- follows:
- "Global (not!) Air 244, traffic 1 o'clock, ten miles, southbound, flight
- level two eight zero, a Fokker".
- His response nearly broke me up!
- "Cleveland, I've been waiting years to be able to say this...I got that
- Fokker in sight".
