Please tell us, Jodeller, what terrible things the CAA has done to you, that you should hate it so, or are you just one of those bar-room PPL-anarchists who says, with Bakunin, that whoever puts his hands on you to govern you is a tyrant and a thief, and declared your enemy?
You refer to better facilities. Is it the CAA's fault that airfields succumb to mismanagement, the pressures of development, nimbyism and lack of understanding and support amongst local authorities? Is it the CAA's fault that many of those that remain open are badly run and have poor quality facilities?
You refer to PPL privileges. Do you mean licence privileges? Ever heard of ICAO? Your PPL privileges you to fly all over Europe, North America, Australia etc. Isn't that enough of a privilege? Or do you mean that we should have the privilege of being saluted by airfield staff when booking in?
Who should we be regulated by? What should they do? How much of your valuable time have the current lot wasted? Do tell.
