Not that it would really make much difference.
You know, I'm of the same mind. Everything I read says it was the responsibility of the larger plane (their words, not mine) to always get out of the way of the smaller plane. Wouldn't that be backwards? It looks to me like both would be equally at fault. The PSA crew for not keeping an eye on the Cessna and the Cessna for deviating off the flight path and not letting anyone know.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
