Firstly, are you really Dick Smith, or is this wind up? At the risk of embarrassing myself, I'll reply in the belief that you actually ARE.
Let me start by saying that I work for one of those major airlines you speak of, and I have to operate through Class E every day.
I have problems with your logic, Dick. By stating that Air Services should be doing everything to help GA, is like saying that the Main Roads Department should build a four lane highway to Farmer Blogg's ranch. It just won't happen. And might I add, nor should it.
You put your resources towards the place where most of the people will be, most of the time. And that is RPT. And you wrap them up in cotton wool, and you protect them. If people then wish to go off the beaten trail, then good, they get assistance too, but not to the level that RPT should.
And you certainly don't put them unprotected in the same environment.
