The next ten years will decide the fate of GA. You and Ron do what
you can, and Mary and I will continue to be the "Pied Pipers" of GA in
Iowa. Beyond that, I don't know what else to do. Getting pilots to
do anything -- even if it's to save their own fate -- is like herding
cats...

One BIG thing that pilots need to do, is to invite people along with them,
when they go flying.

I don't have a "certificate" YET, and I always tell everyone I know that is
a pilot, that I would JUMP at the chance to go flying with them, especially
when they are going out by themselves.

I don't get near the invitations that I would like. So, if everyone would
be more open to invite a prospective pilot along, DO IT !!! It might be
what someone needs to get off of the fence, and go for it.

Sadly, I know lots of pilots who won't invite folks to go flying for the
fear of liability issues.

Yes, I know that does happen, and I agree, that is sad. Very sad.

Myself, I will not allow my life to be ruled by geeks, bean counters, and
lawyers at insurance companies.

In my case, these are relatively close friends, so I don't think that is the
cause.

You may not have a choice, if someone decides to bankrupt you with a lawsuit.

The most bitter proceedings in the legal world are those of probate and
divorce, and yet all the parties involved are family.

In our fearful and litigation-oriented society, that's a great way for a pilot
to go bankrupt and never fly again, should even the slightest thing go wrong
during a flight (just having a passenger get airsick would be enough).

Interesting statement. Do you have a single example of a GA pilot ever being
sued because a passenger got air sick?

Not offhand. But far more trivial events have triggered successful lawsuits.

The correct answer is no, so your motivation is clearly a troll.

Name three. Or a simple "No" to the previous question.
