It's all very well getting worked up about seatbelts, a couple of years ago most of the old cessnas did not have lifed belts, so why all the panic now?
I am looking at the bigger picture,why our licences will soon not be worth the paper they are written on because France & Spain are giving away Part 66 licences to anyone who wants one.
And as for the guy who shops around to get the cheapest deal & does not get a servicable aircraft back, that his right. I my experience its the aircraft which have been serviced at the same place year in year out which are in the worst state. There are not many places doing GA maintenance in this country, most owner if they find one they like tend to stick with them. Trying to find a succession of bad companies would be very difficult in my opinion.
