From this side of the pond (UK) I think there are few pilots who don't
support measures to reduce the risk of mid-airs.

What we pretty much agree on is that it is unreasonable for the men in
suits to mandate the installation of expensive, heavy, power hungry,
outdated (nearly) equipment in our gliders to fix a problem many think is
invented by the suits to justify technology to enable a covert agenda to
the benefit of CAT and UAVs who could pay for it but are not being asked
to.

Cheaper, better, low power technology is here now and in the pipeline that
can do this better and can be fitted easily in gliders.

ps: I'll bet that, on average, those that have transponders and PCAS look
out less.
