I have never understood why the FAA has always been so intent on violations. Sure, rules need to be obeyed, and flying is no exception, but does it really help? ....
.....What is it the FAA suddenly tries to accomplish? Do they really think that suddenly pilots are going to make less mistakes? Is it indeed safety the FAA has in mind, or is this political? One does wonder.
Go back and read again the post by Don Brown (Get the Flick), several posts above. It is spot on.
I don't make my living in aviation, but I'm married to an air traffic controller. If I were dependent on a pilot's license to make my living, as many of you are, I'd be
furious to be played as a pawn in the FAA's chess game against the controller's union.
What are
you going to do about it?
