AOPA has totally lost it
1. "Just the facts, maam": Of the 10 busiest airports (listed airports
are big commercial airports), GA contributes only 4.5% of the traffic.
The Destroyer's conclusion: "So much for the airlines claim that GA is
using more than its paying for." Hysterical. Beyond ludicrous.
2. AOPA opposes emissions study in CA. AOPA opposes even a study. Can't
even discuss it. Verboten by Phil.
3. AOPA previously opposed a study of GA in Maryland. Just a study.
Also verboten by Phil.
4. Aging GA aircraft: No limits other than voluntary.
5. Twin Cities airport: AOPA opposes an economic analysis (by the state
legislature) of Crystal Airport. Huh????? Say again???? I thought
these things brought untold wealth to communities. (Oh, yeah. Only the
studies commissioned by AOPA or state aeronautics boards reach this
conclusion. No other groups are qualified to comment.)
6. AOPA "milestone": 408,000 members. I suppose each thousand members
will represent "milestones." If it hits 409,000, that will be the next
milestone.
7. On ADIZ transcripts again being made public, Boyer says, "I wonder how
much it cost the taxpayers?" Phils concern over the taxpayers may
represent an about face, and perhaps he will now support the user fees.
But wait:
8. "Beware the Camel's Nose" article: I guess he doesn't care about
taxpayers after all.
9. TSA warning about jihadists: What's the worry. The voluntary airport
watch program has been a "proven" success, according to the Destroyer.
I repeat what I've said befo this man is a disaster for your
organization. John McCain, to his credit, got this clown's number years
back, recognizing he is an unscrupulous liar and a fraud.
