What really bugs me the most is that it feels like the FAA is capable of doing horrible and disruptive (if not outright evil) things instantly, at the stroke of a pen. But it takes years of disciplined analysis to make even the smallest change for good. Like BasicMed or an unleaded fuel.
If they were able to create this problem at the stroke of a pen, they should be able to erase it just as easily. If it’s going to take years of analysis and debate to undo it, then it should have taken that to create it.
