Hired Guns (or to put a finer point on it, the
potential for cut-rate, slipshod operators in that field) are a
potential threat to that part of my life.

Better we, the Sport Aviation movement, get our own house in order,
than have external actors force changes down our throat, eh?


I'm not sure you're speaking to me here as I never suggested you should "get
a life". I really did not get all the way through your post, I usually tune
out as soon as I read something akin to "if you don't like it, go somewhere
else" or "commie", posts seldom recover from that sort of thing.

Here in Canada we have classes of ownership that you are denied such as
owner maintenance and homebuilt. Both seem to be working out well enough.
The hired builder does not have to be any better or worse than the approved
mechanic, Lord knows there are enough shysters out there with all the
credentials you can obtain. Sadly the paper does not constitute any
guarantee.
