My perception is that Dick et al want the privilege of flying where they want, when they want, without any of the responsibility that comes with defying nature in a heavier-than-air machine. I believe that they work on the big sky theory as I don't believe that they have any better sight than the average CPL/ATPL holder, and it scares me how many aircraft I've passed and not been able to see. Thus far the big sky theory has been a signifficant factor in the lack of mid-airs in Australia. I just don't want to rely on it!
my bolding
Game set and match I'd say
