I believe that class E is better than class G -which lots of our airline services now fly in.
Rubbish! It might be called G after your alphabet soup airspace, but our class G has mandatory radio use above 5000ft, full directed traffic information for IFR, and mandatory radio use at CTAF Rs. Our sort of class G is a damn-sight more flexible as (and safe as) non-radar Class E, where you have Dick Jack-Boots flying around with not a care in the world looking at his GPS/MAP/all the new gadgets on board, listening to his Ipod hopefully with his Transponder on (not that it's actually tested).

You really are a furphy-merchant, Dick. Why not tell it like it REALLY is?
