Chickehouse & Abbeville
While from a practical standpoint I agree with you completely I do feel that to have a European regulatory authority that's title containers the word "safety" that is by its own sortsightedness and over regulation making it financially punitive to install equipment to make collisions less likely ( rather than encouraging it as the UK is doing) rather defeats their roll as protectors of public safety.
The fact of the matter is that EASA is failing in its duty to promote and regulate better safety standards in European aviation and so in its present state is unfit to regulate.
