Also, if you look even further, the altitudes available for eastbound travel are only 1000ft separation. Leaving no room for any opposite direction traffic (even in an RVSM environment). Hence, no west bound traffic.

Just had to clear it up.

My bad. I had it right in my head just got dislexic in typing that post.

X goes East

A goes West

Now if we can just understand why FlightAware flight plans show west bound flights with things like like "XTOPP" or "XTUSK" as the first part of the routing we'll have it all figured out.
