QUOTE "An interest in aviation is desirable "QUOTE
Somewhat toward "fostering and encouraging" which is more than anyone this side of the ditch will ever see. I believe I is written mantra in US aviation regulation. Pity we don't have the political or industry will to force this upon the regulation makers here.
Duplication of the NZ or PNG rules would be a good start. That would give time to run a parallel regulatory repeal of the current mess which is still a dogs breakfast after nearly 30 years.
However I think Dick is attempting to cover a plethora of righting wrongs in everything from food production, immigration, trade and probably aviation.
And good luck to him.
