If all midair collisions were eliminated...

If all GA midair collisions were eliminated, 27 people would still be alive, based on your own cited statistics. Is saving lives not a sufficient justification for eliminating midair collisions? Is there are threshold of deaths below which efforts to eliminate midair collisions are not justified? What cost is there in attempting to eliminate midair collisions that offsets the loss of life that they entail? If the US road speed limit were reduced from 70 to 65 mph, perhaps 30,000 lives would be saved annually. Isn't that worthwhile? We have apparently decided NOT. Because it's utter bull****. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg
