F18 BINGO FUEL STATE CLB THROUGH OCCUPIED ALT HAD LTSS FROM B737. SYS ERROR.

Narrative

NAVY LEMOORE WENT BELOW MINIMUMS; NLC APCH MADE VERBAL HDOF ON F18 VFR; SQUAWKING 7700; BINGO TO CHINA LAKE (NID). I RECEIVED HDOF. F18 INITIAL CONTACT LEAVING FL180; REQUESTING 40000 FT. I ESTABLISHED RADAR CONTACT; ASSIGNED FL190 FOR C12 TFC IN NWBOUND AT FL200 AND CALLED TFC TO THE F18. THE F18 RPTED LEAVING FL210 AND SAID HE HAD SEEN THE TFC. I COORDINATED WITH NEXT SECTOR FOR HIGHER ALT AND SWITCHED REMAINING ACFT TO OTHER FREQS. I ASSIGNED FL410 (BINGO ALT) TO THE F18 AND THEN RECHKED TFC POINTED OUT TO ME BY HIGH ALT; B-737 SEBOUND LEAVING FL350 FOR FL370 AND ALREADY CHANGED TO LOS ANGELES FREQ. I HAD F18 RPT ALT (HE WAS CLBING SO FAST THE DATA BLOCK WAS XXX). F18 RPTED FL290; I ASKED IF HE COULD CLB TO BE LEAVING FL390 IN 1 MIN AND HE REPLIED AFFIRMATIVE. I SAID RPT LEAVING. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER; I ASKED F18 TO VERIFY ALT. HE RPTED FL360. I ESTIMATED 8 MI SEPARATION AND TOLD F18 TO TURN TO 180 DEG HDG. HE ASKED IF TFC WAS 11 O'CLOCK. I CONFIRMED. F18 ASKED TFC ALT. I RPTED FL370. F18 SAID HE WOULD GET ABOVE THE TFC. ABOUT 5 MI APART 1 ASKED F18 TO RPT LEAVING FL390. HE ROGERED. I ASKED; SAY ALT; AND HE RPTED LEAVING FL390. FOR THE BINGO TO NID; F18'S ARE EXPECTING CLB TO FL410. ATC DOES ITS BEST TO ACCOMMODATE. THIS F18 WAS VFR; ENTERED PCA WITHOUT CLRNC AND PASSED ANOTHER ACFT WITHOUT SEPARATION BEFORE ATC COULD GIVE A CLRNC OR QUOTE TFC. F18 WAITING FOR CLRNC WOULD HAVE BEEN DELAYED FOR LESS THAN 1 MIN. HAVING SEEN TO 7700 SQUAWK AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE F18 TO THAT POINT; I WAS PROBABLY OVERLY ANXIOUS TO GIVE THE F18 HIS FINAL REQUESTED ALT INSTEAD OF TEMPORARILY ASSIGNING FL350 UNTIL THE ACFT PASSED. THE F18 MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE LEVEL AT THIS HIGHER ALT WITHOUT HURTING PERFORMANCE TOO BADLY. ONCE HE WAS CLBED; THE F18 WAS RESISTANT TO FURTHER INSTRUCTION. HE NEVER DID TURN WHEN TOLD TO. I DISCOVERED LATER THAT ZLA HAD TURNED THE B737; THIS INCREASED THE LATERAL SEPARATION BY PROBABLY 2 MI. WHILE THE PLT IS THE ULTIMATE AUTH OVER HIS ACFT; ENTERING THE PCA WITHOUT CLRNC AND RESISTING INSTRUCTIONS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ATC TO PROVIDE ANY SVC. THIS PARTICULAR PROC IS OVERLY RESTRICTIVE ON THE PLTS; NO DIVERT OTHER THAN NID IS AUTH. FRESNO AIR TERMINAL THIS DAY WAS VFR AND LESS THAN 30 MI AWAY; BUT WAS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED.
