Larry, you've convinced me you're an idiot. The proposed rule gives back
more than it takes. With the proposed new restricted area limited to 20
days of use per year, ZLA/SoCal or LONGRIFLE will undoubtedly honor all
requests to transit the area. For those pilots with such disdain for
talking to ATC to obtain clearance through the airspace, go the inland route
or better yet, stay home--you're a hazard to the rest of us.

As for your suggestion that the MOAs and proposed restricted area be
replaced with TFRs, that'd be great, but the reality is that the area around
Pendleton is almost always busy with military traffic of all types, where
keeping on one's toes is a good idea for all concerned. Taking away the
MOAs and restricted area might tend to lull one into complacency, precisely
where complacency should be avoided.

I support the rule change.
