Many pilots I know seem to think that this new TSA rule is just the
beginning of things to come. Look at the trend. Mayor Daley succeeded after
a long battle, then the proposal by Mr. Weiner, and now this. People have
been trying to get rid of general aviation for quite some time, and they
are starting to have success. Many TFR's have now become permament. There
is some talk about banning all part-91 operations from class B airspace.
The old timers tell me that today's kids are not interested in aviation,
because they have taken the fun out of flying. How much fun is it for a kid
to learn about complex airspaces, TFR's and military interceptions? That
paints a gloomy picture for aviation. The optimist in me tells me that
things will turn around. What do you think? Is GA on a inevitable decline,
or will it turn around and start to take an even important role in our
lives?
