GA headed for regulatory trouble

Yeah, I agree that its only a matter of time. That huge AOPA staff that
you guys pay for can only protect you for so long. There have been a
number of close calls for innocents on the ground (the trailer park homes
that were destroyed, highway crashes in Calif, the home that was destroyed
in texas, etc.), but eventually some GA pilot is going to cause alot of
innocents to die (Of course people will post the usual drivel he
"condolences to the pilot -- he was really good -- we'll miss him, yada
yada yada). When that happens, there will really generate alot of
headlines.

But, the truth is coming out. About the total disregard many of you have
for noise, safety, etc. as well as the huge taxpayer subsidies that GA
airports receive.

There is a nationwide meeting of anti aviation activists coming up next
weekend. With all the news you guys are generating (high profile crashes
all over the country, kids stealing planes, constant intrusions into the
DC ADIZ, the truth about who pays to subsidize your fun (taxpayers), etc.
we have plenty of ammunition to put some sanity into this business.

SKYLUNE is always watching.

Of course, the reality that far more people are exposed to death
and dismemberment in automobile crashes every single day won't
cross anyone's mind.

*yawn*

Can't you find a worthy cause to pursue?

Go save some baby seals, or maybe some endangered tree frogs... Or perhaps
even help some kid learn to read...?

Just about anything you could do would be a more useful endeavor than trying
to stop aviation -- possibly mankind's highest achievement.

Who wants to "stop aviation?" Why would anyone want to do this?

All we want is better regulation of GA, eliminate taxpayer subsidies for
GA airports, upgrade pilot training so that these be a pilot in a month
schools won't exist, change the FARs so that a turboprop cant legally
circle over people's house all day long, expose the FAA corrupt,
ineffective regulation of GA, etc.

Every single day, some GA pilots prove that the industry is running amuck.
I feel badly for the responsible majority of GA pilots, but a small
minority is ruining it for all of you, especially those with calalier
attitudes (protect baby seals - please). And Phil Boyer panders to the
lowest common denominator.

GA is pretty heavily regulated right now, in case you haven't noticed.
I really don't think we need a whole lot more. GA did not cause 9-11
and now that there are 200 times as many TFR's as there were pre-911
you've got to expect a few more occasional violations.

This USED to be more of a free country than it is today, in case you've forgotten.

You can get your reality check he

http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm

You might want to work on that "accidental exposure to cold" . That's just
about the same number of people as die in GA airplane accidents. Or maybe
work on cancelling swimming pools, also about the same number of deaths.

Forget the trivial stuff like the 15,000 car occupants, or 15,000 drug
overdoses, many of them in hospitals, or 12,000 gun deaths. Obviously those
are already well regulated.

While you are looking up at the next GA airplane flying by, your odds of
dying from falling on the sidewalk are just about 6 times as great.

Better shut down walking, too, then, just to be safe.

Have a pleasant life.

Oh, of course.... but I get this perverse satisfaction from recalling that
page, just to review all the different possibilities by which that may
cease..... :-)

Actually, I very much appreciated the post. I will be quoting that site
often!

You can get YOUR reality check by looking at the OSHA statistics of the
most dangerous occupations. Pilots and flight engineers came in third,
behind loggers and commercial fishermen. And we know that the amateur
pilots crash more often. As they say, you can look it up...

Hey, if not for the noise and taxpayer subsidies, I could really care
less. And I'm not worried about a small plane crashing into my house or
business. No more than I won't swim in the ocean for fear of sharks. But
do you really think that if a family gets killed, or a school or business
gets hit, that won't generate calls for better regulation??

Cavalier attitudes (and simple name-calling) such as yours are our allies.
So thank you.
