lookleft makes a good point. A mentoring program might be a good idea. My point about VHFRT is that he thinks the government can run a better program than Angel Flight - experience suggests not. As for the French aristocracy reference, it alludes to the fact that ATSB is totally out of touch with the ordinary day to day basics of dealing with severe illness.
As for your reference to uber, they were greeted like a breath of fresh air in melbourne. no more scummy barely roadworthy dirty taxis, no more illiterate unkempt idiotic taxi drivers who couldn’t drive at all. I’ve walked away from 2 taxi crashes caused by taxi drivers lack of knowledge of the laws of physics. Uber is way better.
As for the two AF fatalities, if they were statistically significant ATSB would have howled it from the rooftops. They couldn’t and instead invented a so called analysis that “proved” what their masters wanted to hear.
Im starting to get the distinct impression that GA and private pilots are under attack. From greedy councils, from the RAAF and their buddies in RPT who don’t want to share airspace with anyone and of course the regulator. You form a nice little club.
