Winstun,

Great to have your whining back. I thought you must have gone walkabout to do a thesis on the complete FAILURE of Lookout to be an adequate mitigator against no-radio twits buzzing around looking at their GPSs (or perhaps for the chickee babes on the tarmac in the Follow Me van).

Manwell, given that professional crews can't even see each other go past with TCAS and DTI, how do you reckon Joe Jet in his powered wing thing is going to go picking up a 737 that's running him down??!! When are you jokers going to get the message?? Unalerted See and Avoid is downright stupid, quite apart from being bloody dangerous!

I can tell you one thing: WHEN a lighty and RPT jet gets taken out, all the BASI reports and correspondence on See and Avoid will come floating to the top, and the lawyers will have a field day, and rightly so. Hopefully, the perpetrators of this ridiculous airspace will end up in jail.
