Mr. Smith

Sir, Without getting caught up in the finer detail of airspace management and politics could you please explain to me why light aircraft are so over-represented in all of this?

This is about a SAFE system for the travelling public, the vast majority of which are travelling with the airlines.
Apologies to the weekend warriors decked out in tweed jackets and moleskins but this is a case of you guys working around the TRAVELLING PUBLIC and not vice versa.

This is not a contest of big plane pilots versus small plane pilots... In fact lets leave the pilots out of it for arguments sake. This is all about what the travelling public pay for and are entitled to.... They are certainly entitled to a ride where they are not inconvenienced by; let alone endangered by a light private operation!

Has this become a headbutting contest between those with the public's safety at heart and those silvertails fortunate enough to fly themselves about?

Why was there such public outcry when taxpayers money was used to surface the late Sir. Joh's driveway when Highway One was in such a state of disrepair?
