Some of us GA "toy aeroplane flyers" are under the obviously mistaken naive notion that 121.5 is there to help us WHEN we DO need it.
I had no idea that professional pilots were such a load of utter pillocks.
After reading this lot I will never look at a professional ATPL the same way.

Way to go there, displaying your own maturity ;-).
Honestly, the guy above you had a bit of a point. There are not many, if any, "foolproof" systems that have not seen a fool prove it wasn't... Or in other words, all the new systems and ways to handle this that you can dream up are very nice. But idiots will find ways to be idiots.
And though the idiots are generally but a small fraction of us "prats", like in many other aspects of life, the few ruin it for the many.
