You, and all discussants, have missed the point entirely. The Hudson River corridor is an artifact of ATC and the New York airports. Make Class B accessible once in a while, raise Class B to 2,000, 3,000 or something rational rather than forcing traffic into a narrow airspace. What makes Class B sacred? What makes the shape of Class B sacred? I don't fly in the New York area often, but New York ATC is difficult to deal with at best compared to someplace easy like SoCal/L.A. or Chicago. Yes, there are JFK, La Guardia and Newark, but be creative and carve out some routes, even if they are changeable routes, and provide a couple of channels that actually answer the poor flibbers and helo types.
