That article was so full of half-truths and outright distortions as to
be laughable, although people unfamiliar with aviation (like the author) might read it and be indignant that "those rich pilots" are scamming the system. I thought "Where to begin with this" but as ET pointed out it's troll bait. However, Boyer is right - you can't legislate common sense. What safeguards are in place to keep a drunk from driving and killing innocents? It happens a lot more often in cars than in airplanes if not only because the number of road vehicles is much higher. JFK Jr. should have exercised better judgement that night in his decision making even though he was not legal to fly in the conditions that existed. Skylune, how many people are involved in drunk boating accidents on your lake in NH? What stops them from getting tanked and going out on the lake? Same self-regulation that most pilots abide by. |
