Finally, it needs an acceptance from the public that if you want a safe GA environment, it comes with a price tag, and that means realistic fares and charges.
Why we allow '60s technology to be used for passenger air transport is beyond me
All of that is fine, providing that you are prepared to accept less jobs in the industry, both pilot and engineer. The fact is the fares needing to be charged to sustain the purchase of modern aircraft would be higher that the public would want, or indeed afford, to pay. Also, the choice of aircraft of similar capacity to the chieftan and 400 series cessna's is very limited. I think we will be riding around in these aircraft for some time yet.
