Bloggs;

If those determined to rid the skies of GA get their way, no I probably won't, and you 'Regional's' will have the lower airspace all to yourselves.

Future ATCO's will probably work from Call Centres in Mumbai directing traffic at Oodnaddatta in 2020, and Regional pilots will come direct from internet game arcades in Villawood Detention Centre.

John McCormick is even quoted as saying recently there is a paid lobby group working to an agenda to get rid of General Aviation. One wonders who they might be and who is paying them?

ADS-B Out should be a replacement for transponders, but instead the FAA is requiring ADS-B Out and transponders, meaning pilots will have to pay for and maintain two systems in order to help ATC perform its primary function: safe separation of aircraft.
Why?

It would seem ADSB IN/OUT is not going to replace TCAS?

Some noisy proponents here have been drinking their bathwater. But then again some don't even own an aeroplane so they have no idea of costs.
