Commercial aviation has far more money to spend than any GA operation
short of the Fortune 500 corporations. I agree that those with the
dough will get the service, but it won't be us who fly anything less
than 12,500 lbs.


Why should it be any other way? "Those who bears the costs, gets the
goods".

That isn't true in vast sectors of the American economy. You don't even
begin to pay for what you use in cost of roads, etc., and people who
live in the city don't pay for the real cost of public transportation.
These are subsidized by general tax revenue just as general aviation is.
I don't you'd really want to pay via user fees for every service you
use, unless you live in a shack in Wyoming.

In that case, you should get behind privatization.

Admitting that he's fresh out of logical arguments for his position,
Tarver tries a lame insult.

Tarver has never had a logical argument in any discussion.

Asking you to join me and AOPA in advocating privatization is not intended
to be an insult.

Since when is AOPA advocating privatization? This is news to me.
They've lobbied heavily against that in the past.

Nor could it be construed as an insult. Quite the contrary, the "being out
logical arguments" falls on Whiting, not Tarver.

Gee, Tom, looks like you are as thick as Tarver. If you can't make the
connection that Tarver was suggesting that I live in a shack in Wyoming,
then you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
