When you grow up, junior, you’ll hopefully realise the extent of the damage done as a consequence of rules that are not a proportionate response to objective risk.
My apologies. I forgot that being a fan of dicks politics automatically put another 10000 hours in your logbook and made you instantly far more experienced than everyone else who takes a far more measured and reasonable approach to the issues.
What many people are forgetting is there is no such thing as a perfect airspace system, all airspace will have limitations. Every time we fly there are potential threats, be they weather, mechanical, terrain, aeromedical, all the possibilities. They will always exist to some extent and that’s our job as pilots to manage them. For some reason dick seems hyper focussed on airspace, probably because it’s easy to create the outrage in the public he enjoys so much. Ultimately there are far bigger killers of pilots we really need to work on, and most of those killers are built into the pilot.....
