Lead sled is right LAMES come in ally shapes and sizes.
For the most part they are just trying to do a job made difficult by an obnoxious regulator.
Yr Wrong seems to be one of those LAMES that see us owners as cash cows, irrespective what our circumstances are.
My philosophy has always been if the work needs doing then do it, but don't come to me with a load of bull**** and tell me you know what right and me as the owner just take it.
In a previous life I had a reasonably large transport aircraft that needed some structural repairs. The engineer gave me the spiel of what had to be done in his view and refused to listen to my point of view.
It ended when he stated
"What would you know, I am the engineer you are just the pilot ands owner"
My reply, left him in no doubt
"Yes you are a LAME but I have the bit of paper ( degree) that says I'm a structural engineer who actually has the qualifications to design these structures"
Needless to say I eventually went elsewhere.
Perhaps we all need to take a step back and realise we are all in the same lifeboat.
