In a report that will make you want to travel by car for the rest of your life, the FAA's records detail how "near collision" episodes are frequent and ongoing.
AFAIK “near” means “in a minute’s time, you might be within a thousand feet of another aircraft”.
Which means 99.99% of the time they didn’t “need” to divert course, but they did out of an abundance of caution.
