The skies would be ten times safer. However, since your proposal probably won't happen, I'll just stick to wishing everybody had TCAS to assist in the cockpit.
Obviously there are parts of the country where you are the only airplane for niles and miles. Where I fly (Florida), there are tons of bug smashers (myself included) all over the place. Would you not see the benefit of TCAS then?
