OK, let's just handle your major point, Sean - the heads down problem. When would you prefer someone to be heads down - 4 minutes before smacking into you, or 60 seconds before smacking into you?


I don't understand your question. I'd rather people not be heads down trying to read the screen and interpreting when a collision alert is active and the audio warning is telling them where to look. I'd rather people not be looking at the screen when in and out the turn point. Same is true of the looking at the flight computer too much.

Of course, I would rather there be no smacking.
