Every pax jet is separated by SIDs and STARs, with either lateral and/or vertical separation. That is what is required here with the choppers. Playing TCAS dodgem-cars below 1000ft when you're trying to land is not the way to go.
Point 3 is the only one that makes any real sense. The rest sound good only to the great-unwashed.
I 100% disagree. ADS-B, among other things, lets YOU see who is going to come close to you without asking ATC what they think about it.
