So what is the problem?
Is it that those with deep pockets who have spent lots of wonga on an IR don't like to share the airspace with oiks with an IMC.
And from the years of evidence we have of IMC-equipped pilots, has there been an incident that can show it is inherently unsafe?
Being a low-end VFR pilot who can't even afford the IMC, I'd quite like to know what is going on. It does seem that there are some vested interests screwing up the debate here.
