Re " Airline pilots are forced to transmit on a non ATC frequency and arrange their own separation with 1930s radio procedures when in cloud."
WOW!! That's progress...... And maybe they also communicate with VFR aircraft who may be 'in conflict' and below the cloud...? Those 'Airline' aircraft sure do move fast, don't they?
That's the system Dick...remember...12/12/1991??
Services to VFR aircraft deleted!
And..."And why not put in a Unicom like the USA. Can give known traffic and WX."

No cheers
