It's the "operating poorly" bit that needs to be nipped in the bud. The aviation world sorted this out decades ago, without revenue raising or bubble wrapping.

The German system is not perfect, buy even by your figures 10% of fatalities for 30% of the total traffic simply does not add up. So who's telling porkies?

Sound like your lies and statistics quoting a report from 1965 40+ years old.

Speed even killed on horseback.

As for the aviation industry, I don't know what you call bubble wrapping. Flying xKM appart and X ft vertical separation. Hard to crash into nothing.
