Nicely said, Towers. Repeating myself ad nauseum, I am still goggle-eyed at the resistance to this idea from people who should know beter. It should be built in to all FMS equipment to kick in automaticaly above (say) 10,000'.
In an ideal world, we'd always fly on unidirectional airways. (I believe Eurocontrol are working towards that, and all power to their deliberations and may it cme t pass soon.) But it ain't gunna happen tomrrow, particularly outside Europe, so please, someone in authority, introduce 1 mile right offsetting as an interim measure before another incident - or even worse, accident - occurs.
All you journos out there, this is one subject about which you'll quite likely get lots of co-operation from pilots if you chose t make a feature of it.
