The biggest risk is that GA gets dicked via user fees. I would love to see less than 5 miles in trail any time there is a cloud along J75, though. Any time NATCA, ATA and the Majors get together, it never turns out well for Joe Cessna Driver.

Safety is a baseline in the sense that the entity that is damaged the most by a fatal is the airline involved (not withstanding the actual passengers that are killed). You don't have to trust their intentions as long as you understand what they have to lose.

You also have to understand that certain entities are willing to "toe the line" when it comes to profit margins.

They'll push it until something happens, and then pull back.

Personally, I have a zero tolerance when it comes to safety. It's safe, or I have failed. it was ingrained in me in the Navy, and the FAA has only solidified that thinking.

As it stands now the NAS is very safe, (knock on wood), in regards to IFR traffic. VFR is up to the guy behind the stick.

Also, you're right, the VFR guys will absolutely get fricked in privatization.
