Yes, it was interesting.
Dick seems to think by pilots being fined $5,000 for forgeting to turn on the transponder will fix everything.
I can see it now - 737 and C-172 collide, relatives obviously not too happen and Dicks reponse will be "you don't understand, if a pilot does not operate his/her transponder it is a $5,000 fine".
Peoples, believe me, this mans attitude is scary.
Dick, in your 6 million flying hours, have you EVER accidentally forgotten to turn on your transponder, for example after a code change - yeah thought so.
