quite right it should be 2-way and we should look after each other. This should in no way become a them and us thing. We all share the same sky and the risks involved with being in it.
I agree with torquewrench that CAT needs to clean up its act and that has to be the 1st step. The only way that will happen is if misuse is reported appropriately. Maybe fines could be introduced for companies with a poor record ! That ought to focus a few minds especially if 3 points get added to your license ....
Then perhaps the issue of a seperate frequency could be looked at. I accept the evidence that PPs are infrequent but Murphy will have his say and the emerg wil occur when the freq is blocked. Also how many GA pilots are discouraged from using 121.5 for PPs as they know its an emerg freq and don't want to cause hassle or block it. If there was a practise freq maybe more people would feel able to use it more often and that means better training for all.
