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?



Oh man...
Excuse me for biting a troll, guys.

mx?

Exactly HOW do you think you can prevent ANY midair?

The ONLY way I can see is to ground everybody.
That'd work!
