Thumbs down Be afraid

Just having a read of the "Propaganda Pack".
- They say "There is a suite of tools to assist see and avoid, which includes flying at correct hemispherical levels, radio, use of lights, TCAS and ATC Radar"

I am sorry for the VFR pilots out there in GA world, because when descending from FL 180 in E space,in a PC9, IFR, My lights are not on (attached to the gear( gear speed is 150kts)),I don't have TCAS, and I am descending at 250kts+and about 4000FPM. Single pilot, no autopilot, and yet be able to see and avoid other VFR traffic. Yeah Right.

Bring on the Near Misses!
