Robin,
Perhaps we should!

skydriller,
If you had a "for life" PPL then you still have it. No change there.
If like other Europeans you had to renew your PPL every 2 years then only having to do it every 5 years is a great cost saving.
It may not be win/win but it is no change / win.
Add to that the validity of the licence in any JAA state, that is a great saving in admin / hassle / costs.
A law increasing the cost of a bus ride in Newcastle from GBP1.00 to GBP 2.00 while reducing the cost of national train journeys from GBP20.00 to GBP10.00 will have people who never look beyond Newcastle up in arms. Those that uses the system to it's fullest extent will benifit and be glad of the changes......................especially if they live in London!!
Regards,
DFC
