I found the answer guys and gals.......
After fifty three years in the business I finally retired.
Life is far less complex now as my big concerns are should I go sailing today or maybe work on my Cub project or just F.T.D. ( Fornicate the Dog )
Arguing with bureaucrats is abut a futile as sitting at the base of Mt. Everest and trying to convince it that it should move to another area.
Next time you guys are flying, lean over and look down at all those offices on the ground jammed with bureaucrats beavering away in their cubicules churning out more and more layers of rules.....
...you will never win because not only do they out number you they are as dense as Mt Everest.
I can't really give you guys any help, except to just look foward to retireing out of the madhouse that Aviation has evolved into.
