I have worked with John professionally in the past and my experience then was as you think he is, hence my anger at him co-writing a report which says that GA is unsafe to co-exist with 'blue light' operations, that the perception that GA is a 'rich man's sport' has not been disproven by GA at LOS, that GA adds nothing to the social and economic well being of the area, that it is in fact a disbenefit and costs the public money, etc, etc.

All this from a company (for which John has helped write the report) which states that it has no conflict of interest in seeing a nearby GA field being closed to the kind of traffic it also attracts as the operator of Shoreham.The report is full of statistics which have been spun to make the case, yet are at odds with precisely the things quoted by John with his AOA hat on.

I still think he should be ashamed of putting his name on the report.
