I have 0 sympathy for either of these guys. Since when is a GPS required
for VFR navigation? What happened to learning how to read a map and
looking out the window? Makes you really question a system where you get
your pilots license and you are good to go for life. Maybe there should be
some periodic retest to make sure people still have the skills they need or
have learned about new stuff that didn't exist when they first got their
license.

Yessssss.... More regulations. More draconian enforcement. Listen bub,
weekly testing and the death penalty wouldn't prevent this **** from ever
happening. The root cause rests in stupidity; which is incurable. Assuming
the AOPA account is mostly accurate, everybody ****ed up. A student pilot
could have done a better job of intercepting these guys.
