Some will not make it?

Our aviation regulatory authorities knew that "some would not make it", and they said so a long time ago. I believe that is the "outcome based activity" that they talk about. and this is the outcome they wanted. They appear to use the "safety" regulations to control the commercial side of aviation, and now they have a powerful weapon in the charges for travelling time that operators have to pay when they travel to outback areas to do useless activities.
They are city slickers and most have no idea of the importance of GA in the outback.
Most people these days believe that GA consists only of the flying schools and the weekend warriors.
