That opinions on the subject are “mixed” is telling …
Once again … the boys that’re here to help are inventing a problem where none exists. I ‘get’ that they were mandated to come up with something by the 2018 Reauthorization Bill but why do they have to slice and dice everything down to ad nauseum? And the GAO assembling “stakeholders.” Just who picked them and what right do they have to represent ME? I don’t remember electing any of 'em. GA is getting SO expensive that cost sharing may well be one of the only ways for mere mortals to afford it all. And I guess they haven’t heard that the “internet” is now THE way for people to communicate?
We need to cut the budget of the lawyers and medical personnel within FAA. That’s MY “stakeholder” position and I’m stickin’ to it.
