Hangar rates would be about the same--can you say "law of supply and

Can you say "more competition?"

High hangar costs are not due to a lack of "competition". Get real.

Accident rates would skyrocket, both fatal and non-fatal.

Why?

Because instead of 400,000 pilots, of which 10% are idiots, you'd have
25 million pilots of which 40% were idiots. Accident rates would
skyrocket.

Spent much time down South, have you?

I live in the south. I don't have an air conditioner in my airplane
and wouldn't want one.

Your conclusions are indeed as fanciful as your premise.
