So basically your opinion is all GA should be shut down Mach?

Would you apply the same reasoning when we inevitably are faced with
a large smoking hole with a boeing tail pocking out of it? Shut down RPT.
Hundreds of people die on our roads every year. If angel flights are stopped,
forcing patients onto the roads there is a high chance, compared with
private aviation, that patients will die driving, and probably have already.
After you've banned patients from driving to appointments
Whats left for the poor patients? walk to the doctors?....Walking carries a high risk
......Oh bugger it, just stay home and die from the disease....hang on a minute didn't
I read somewhere most accidents happen in the home?....good grief we are doomed!

I've been told Hundreds of angel flights occur every day in the US, they to have had two accidents,
but their regulator has applied no restrictions fortunately they recognise aviation in whatever form
carries risks, but way less than other forms of transport.
