A simple enough idea...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but McCormick is essentially a public servant, right?

And are we not 'members of the public'?

As members of the public, do we not have the right to question our public servants? They are here to 'serve the public' after all?

Why are we not lambasting him personally with emails, letters etc asking why he went off half cocked, spouting this sh!t to the world?

The rest of the general public (non-aviators) are hardly going to take an interest in this subject, so there won't be much in the way of correspondence giving him a pat on the back!

However unlikely it is that change will be effected, it has zero percent chance that it will happen if we just sit back and take it.

As much as I dislike the greens, when ever some tree gets lopped down, there is always a group on the news protesting it, sometimes only small, but they are still getting their crackpot opinion across!

Just because he is in a position of authority, doesn't automatically make him right.

Viva lá revolution!
