Err..guys I hope you are not implying there are no "Professional" pilots in GA?
I agree with you that these threads should be in the airline section, but please...
CAsA embuggerance has mainly affected GA, largely because the airlines went along with whatever CAsA wanted, didn't affect them they could just add the cost to ticket price, or if it got too ansy the airlines have the resources to employ very powerful legal representation and command considerable political pull.
GA has always been on the bones of its ass, which is why CAsA has been able to get away with murder.
