My apologies Mr Jetstream, my "99.999%" are not "99.999% of VFR folks" - I meant "99.999% of the general public" - who choose electronic assited flight and ATC. Sorry about that confusion.

If all my neighbours want a 10,000 stadium and I did not, then I would need to move house anyway (wrong area and wrong people around me, possibly wrong country), the compulsory purchase order would save me the trouble of selling....

The commercial operators (boo hiss) provide flights/services/schedules that people want - so it is actually the demand from the general public that is troubling you - not the companies themselves that provide the service. Would you level the same criticism at these commercial operators if they were all small companies (or if they only flew VFR!)? What makes them so evil in your books, please explain further.

BTW - I agree with your sentiments to make VFR cheaper and more accessible. I also quite agree that better carving up of the sky so it can be shared by all is a very good thing. I had to do lots of overtime work to be able to start to fly, and the nearest uncontrolled airstip was too far away so I had to start with hectic RT - but I accepted I was somewhere busy and that was that.
