I agree Re: the comments about it being a typical media piece, as usual what was probably a 15-20 minute discussion has been crammed into two sentences with only the bits that sond good kept in order to satisfy the needs of the attention-span-deficient soundbite junkies of today who demand 24-hour news.
But I also agree that, more worryingly, it paints us (i.e. General Aviation) in a very bad light and makes us and our industry out to be incompetant, unprofessional, bungling, untrustworthy fools who must be tightly controlled in order to stop any bad things happening. That's not something I take lightly at all and it's obvious that's what or Government thinks of us, but now the public will start viewing us in the same light which is not good for us nor our industry.
I just find it sad that Whitehall/Westminister will happily sacrifice anything in order to make themselves and their little sports day look good, all because they're crapping it that something happens and that would make them look bad. How sad, all this just for rubbing up the egos of some political folks...
