Default 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?


Where exactly in his post did he suggest we should be satisfied with
low numbers of fatalities due to mid-air collisions?

I find that information extremely interesting and I'm glad he posted
it. Thanks Jim!
