Oh right, i see. So as long as it's a smaller commercial aircraft and less people are killed in a mid-air that's acceptable is it??
err, yes, more acceptable. How many examples of higher standards for bigger aeroplanes do you want. It's industry standard practice. Indeed, it's the way of the world.
As for seeing conflict risk, one of the types I operate does not have TCAS,
You should be grounded until you have TCAS. My aeroplane has TCAS and I don't want to share the sky with you. Don't you care about my passengers?
i regularly transit VFR,
If you think you need the highest possible standard of safety, you should stay IFR, inside CAS.
