Well IO, very unusual for you to stoop to personal attacks just because you don't like what has been said. I do believe that in the private flying hours pissing contest you are onto a loser by a large margin.
My point was around
VFR touring, Calais in an 800OVC is hardly VFR touring is it?
My point is (again) that it is perfectly possible for the pilots of these hot ships to tour VFR. This is demonstrated all the time. Just because you have an IR and therefore it seems view yourself better than the VFR guys don't go round making stuff up to suit your arguments. Implying the permit flyers are breaking the law and flying in IMC to support your argument is just stupid.
Personally I am neutral either way, but the question was asked why the IMCR issues have fallen year on year. I gave a reasonable interpretation that is supported by comment from the VFR only flyers as to why. Changing styles and a move towards permit flying has had an impact on issues as these guys don't see the need for a rating they can't legally use.
You have just made up a view that they are doing it illegally to support your argument which kind of does them a bit of a disservice?
Perhaps you want to lean over the side of the cot and pick you toys back up.....
