Yep, I can really see this one hurting the FBOs in Florida, California, etc. What a drag ... and how pointless too. Another self-inflicted wound, and another small victory for the terrorists.
I wish I could be as confident as gorky, but I am far from sure that "everything will be better for us" ... the best that we can hope for is that the old rules will be reinstated.
BTW, it's not clear to me how the FAA can on its own authority simply decide that it is no longer going to observe FARs sec. 61.75 (admittedly that section is not very elegantly drafted and arguably implies that the FAA has some element of discretion).
