Could not agree more! I go to several regional airports where the security/ARO/management want 6 hours of supervised driving before given an airside driving permit, and 4 hours on top of that, at night, if you want to do it at night, to drive 150m from the gate to the GA park. And the bulls$it excuse is, we are different to every other airport and much busier, so you have to be shown every thing... Bollocks. Somehow having 6 RPT flights over a 24 period is 'busy' and pilots can't be trusted to drive around with crashing into everything...
YPJT was good. A quick written assessment, ten minutes of familiarisation behind the wheel with the ARO, and you're good to go.
But, back to topic, I'd pay $0.99 for an app that got me where I need to go, but it will never happen, the current circus generates too much $$ for non flying entities to give up such a cash cow.
