I agree that Meeks has in the past made vague indications to being
sympathetic to the plight of GA. However, I would not characterize him as
being clearly pro-GA or fully cognizant of the threat or lack thereof of
GA.
This latest article just shows how far from being pro-GA he really is. He
had a great opportunity to provide some fair reporting, and instead just
quoted the GAO and TSA for the most part, letting their silly statements
stand without contradiction.

I enjoyed the 70% part...


According to the GAO, which is the investigative arm of Congress,
about 70 percent of all general aviation planes are four- to
six-seat, single-engine, piston-driven propeller planes. These
types of planes, like a Cessna 172, cruise about 145 mph and fully
loaded weigh less than a Honda Civic.


I wonder if all of those two-seat planes out there were part of that 70%
number? I doubt it.
