Quote from GomerP:
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again. European and other pundits have no business pontificating on the state of the US industry, just as the US pundits should, and generally do, keep quiet about their industry. It's a different culture, under different rules, with different philosophies, expectations, and goals. Right or wrong, profit is the driving force for all business in the US, and that will not change no matter how much fun the rest of the world wants to make of it. Short-term profit is the end-all and be-all of the US economy, and short-term profit is not possible if multi-engine, multi-crew aircraft flown only under IFR are required. So get over it, those will never be required, and will seldom be used."
In more simple terms: You cannot fix stupid.
So, in accordance with that statement we should just let it be and let PATIENTS suffer the consequences, attitudes like that are the reason why I am happy to no longer operate in that segment of the industry.
