And the rumours I am hearing about Part 135, if correct, will cause monumental change and should create howls of outrage that should cause the politicians to sit up and finally take notice of an area they have long ignored.
But then I have always been a dreamer thinking that it will finally turn out for the best. Based on past experience the people who should be united will retire to their corner grumbling that the others do not understand the problem.
For the uninitiated Part 135 will be the commercial operation of light aircraft. The rumours I am hearing is that the maintenance and operational requirements will be a lighter version of what is required for low-capacity RPT at present. That will drastically affect most maintenance shops and require commercial operators to get their pilots checked by a recognised C & T organisation. Think how much that will increase your operating costs.
