"The FAA does not regulate helicopters"
?
Perhaps more indicative:
"These helicopters should be forced to fly the 2500 feet or get a fine or license taken away after so many offenses. Why not fly them over the ocean a mile out?? Then they can fly over the homes of the people who are actually IN the helicopters, the folks in Sagaponack and Georgica!"
So perhaps the primary motivation here is jealousy. We've all seen people come along and expect anybody associated with helicopters to be dripping in gold, lighting cigars with the largest available unit of whatever currency applies.
These people will never go away, but as the earlier posts about the poll in Britain showed, some variation in the results can be achieved by us as a community.
Perhaps somebody whose employment would be affected by this bill would like to write to the good Senator?
