Anyway, these subsidies, to the extent they exist, are definitely a good
thing, and we should do everything possible to maintain them, and protect them from the specious arguments uninformed detractors, looking for short-term political gain. I am in favor of responsible use for GA, however orphaning GA financially would present a prejudice to much of rural US and many specialty businesses. The financial losses to pilot training would have to be made up directly by the airlines, and would show up in ticketing costs, and the direct transportation losses could not be made up by developing train or commercial air routes. Any attempt to do so would lead immediately to gigantic cost overruns, pollution and nuisance problems far outweighing those of GA, and financial detriment to communities. The GA subsidy is a very good deal for most Americans. G Faris |
