Thanks snarek,
Interestingly, I think the basis behind the suggested cutbacks is based on a flawed argument.
I think Civil Air agrees with you on this.
If safety of NAS was a concern to the ATC who are members of Civil Air, then why shouldn't Civil Air represent its members - just like you would represent your AOPA members? Don't you think that safety can be of genuine concern to a union?
If it is just a matter of a perceived loss of ATC jobs, then why are pilots unions against NAS?
In any case, it seems that many valid questions of safety with NAS has not been answered. Arguments that NAS is not less safe have not been refuted. To avoid pursuing these questions and arguments by concerning one's self only with insults and "anti-GA" sentiments only serves as a distraction.
If you are concerned about motive, then the best way to expose it is to attack the arguments used, not the motive itself.
