Hi Pace, I prefer to operate according to fact rather than opinions. That's why I'm keen to read the reports and stats, etc. as it's best to validate some bar room claims based around "obvious" things which, when investigated, aren't. Tighter space = more collisions isn't necessarily true either - I know of nine aircraft often found in very close proximity that don't seem to hit each other!
