No - the problem we will be facing is that Sleazyjet and Chavair will be routing through Class G to save fuel and time and expecting the microlights/gliders and VP1s to squawk so that they can use their TCAS for separation

Worse, they will use the fact that they are able to choose their own routings as a way of depriving GA access to Class G around regional airfields using safety as an excuse

Given the savings they expect to make (ie extra profit) they could pay for the fitting of transponders for everyone.

Unfortunately they fail to understand that we can't all fit transponders to all our aircraft.

Even the military won't all be fitted with transponders, so you will all be at risk of being wiped out by a Tornado, even if you are TCAS equipped.
