I wouldn't say there has been more crashes. As a pilot I hear about different crashes every week that the media does not report, It just so happened that had two airlines in a row crash close together that were both in America.

Airlines are safer then ever before!

I would say that some accidents are not widely reported because they aren't "attention grabbers" like some of the larger airlines. I'm sure that in their respective communities they get some coverage via a local paper or media outlet of some form.

As for the frequency of aircraft merging in the skies, I don't believe that it's occurring more often recently, but I DO think that the possibility strongly exists if something is not done to relieve the congestion or at least make it more manageable. Hopefully the new GPS navigation system they are considering may help...
