Until everyone/pilot/operator in this country buys a copy of the FAA regs and abides by them....and when CAsA turns up on the doorstep, tell'em ..'you're not needed, wanted or capable, everything is working just fine...so piss off !!
Will never happen of course, so the 'entrenched authoritarians'/Iron Ring/control freaks etc will continue to deny normal freedoms and the ordinary citizens' common sense.
They just hate the idea that aviation citizens can think for themselves.
Woe to the Industry and the taxpayer, regulatory revisions will go on forever..its a career thing for the 'public sector "workers".
And of course its blindingly obvious after 30 years and $350mil..and counting, what answer do you get if you ask..'Is it any safer today than it was back then?'
What have we got for out troubles, more bureaucratic complexitization,(thus less safe) more regs, more bs, more paperwork and more costs.
Something has to give eventually.
