It's a minority sport after all.
.. and what right does that give big organisations to dictate?
The sky belongs to everyone, yes. So why do we have to pay for it when WE don't need it?
Lets put it another way.. Do you believe that, because this is for the benefit of CAT (and it IS, lets face it!), that the airliners should be subsidising this? If so it would be an easier pill to swallow, but it still doesn't help the folk who do not and cannot have a suitable power supply.
Just coming on here and ranting about the 'Safety Benefits' is not good enough...it is just a very good political reason/excuse to exercise some corporate muscle....
...any special right NOT to pay for it?
.. we would not be paying for airspace... we would be paying for someone else to have something that we don't need... We have every right to expect to not pay for it (I think I may have mentioned this before).
