*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, in the wake of a growing number of mid-air collisions, AVweb asked if you’re concerned about the possibility of a mid-air.

Most of our respondents did express some concern – but also some preparation and awareness.  68% of you told us that you’re conscious of the possibility and have taken direct precautions to minimize the risk.

A significant 18% of respondents expressed some (understandable) longing for a little box that would see other aircraft and keep us alert to possible mid-airs.

Only 6% of our readers expressed little to no concern about being involved in a mid-air collision.

*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***

How would you like to be paid for flying?  Does the job of pro pilot still hold the same appeal it once did?
