I very well can bitch and moan. If people don't push for changes they will never happen (and I have pushed for change in places other then this forum). As for the IFR comparsion, it's apples and oranges. How many hours does a GA pilot spend learning controlled airspace? How many hours do they spend getting an IFR cert?
To repeat: 10-hour GA students are allowed to fly in CTA, as are gliders and RAA pilots operating under one of the exemptions. Why can I jump in a motor-glider and transit class D, but I can't in CT-shortwing? Am I somehow becoming less qualified by sitting in a different aircraft?
