Part of the problem for getting a serious public debate on this has been the position of AOPA. They've lead the charge with some silly statements that have only served to undermine any real consideration of the issues.
Bill stating that GA charter will have to be the same as 747s was just a bit over the top.
I'm sure there are devils in the detail but I like the general thrust of CASA's position. Better public confidence, better for business. Good charter operators must agree.
