Narrative:
Commuter airline approaching aex daily cross through the pollock (LA34) ATC area without announcing their intentions of crossing the air traffic area. Approaching the pollock airport at 2500 ft and beginning a turn and descent to pattern altitude, a commuter aircraft was idented and observed crossing below and through the air traffic operating area of LA34. Upon landing, several witnesses commented that it was an ongoing problem of low flying commuters crossing through and just above the airport. Several of the pilots have complained to air traffic controling agencies, but nothing seems to address the problem.
