Hadagutful - flying is a 'privelege' not a 'right'.
You are supposed to have an understanding of the importance and use of the radio in order to get your licence in the first place, so how is it that so many recreationals forget the phraseology and procedures so quickly? The great proponent Dick doesn't want you on the radio!! He thinks you're too dumb to listen to more than one frequency during any sector, and guys like you just incriminate yourselves - by agreeing with this!
Whereas, the rest of us, WANT to hear from you, if you can manage to be on the right frequency and fly your piper at the same time (Ooh, multitasking!!) We don't CARE if you are in the airspace, AS LONG AS WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!
Now, why the same old tripe, scaremongering etc etc. Can't you guys come up with a RATIONAL argument or something to substantiate the propanga you guys regurgitate?? In what way do you think pilots will benefit or profit from scaremongering? You think we want the public to feel unsafe and not fly IF THERE WAS NO GOOD REASON?
A midair will do no good to the business, that's for sure.
