It's exactly the sort of thing that should be raised, Mr Kerans. Who said anything about politicizing? I agree there has been some dirty politics involved in the NAS implementation, but those opposed are doing so for safety reasons, not to advance their careers!
Not something we should politicise, especially since it WASN'T in E IT WAS IN B.
What don't you understand here? You can call the airspace B, E or stupid, but the fact remains they were applying visual (see and avoid) sep to an IFR jet and a VFR lightie, exactly that which has been proposed in NAS for oz. In huge tracts of airspace! You wonder why pilots and controllers are a little worried?
Those 'low probabilities' the NASites quote are the PSA crew, their passengers, and the lightie pilot. Bit more real now, is it? Why take an unnecessary risk?
