How else would you suggest we get commonsense to prevail?
Dick,
If you read what I wrote you will realise that I'm not necessarily arguing against your point but the manner in which you state it. Trying to conjour up images of plummeting aircraft to the public who know nothing of TCAS etc, all because the crew missed a radio transmission is disingenuous nonsense and does your argument no good at all, especially to those of us who know the realities of flying airliners.
In your original post you said that you would be pushing out your press release unless you had any good ideas to the contrary. What I'm saying is go ahead with your opinion but just leave out the exaggeration, which conveniently ignores all the other safety nets in place preventing the loss of five hundred lives. Remove the rhetoric and scaremongering and crack on with your crusade.
