If user fees go into effect I'm done
Ps. While I am offending everyone, if user fees begin, a good
start would be to close down the FSS system COMPLETELY, and fire all of the employees. The system is useless, redundant with more modern methods, and would remove an entire line item from the FAA budget, leaving them less to bitch about. Not to mention letting the FAA know we are serious about reducing the size of the FAA. The FSS system should never have been privatized. It should have been shut down completely. Scott Moore scott moore wrote: The government appears to want to place US aviation in line with that of other countries, such as in the EU. In the short run they may not be able to do much, but in the long run they certainly can, especially with a declining pilot population, which this will accelerate. I'll make a suggestion that I'm sure nobody here will like. If we are able to tie any user fees that come about to actual services, the next step is to STOP the creation of any new control towers on small airports, then follow that up with getting RID of as many control towers, and FAA personnel, as possible. With modern technology such as ADS-B, there is less need for them, and getting rid of FAA personnel is the natural answer to the whole user fee question. The FAA themselves have floated the idea that even IFR might someday be uncontrolled. Uncontrolled = no controller. Its both a "solution" to the FAA's (imaginary) "controller private aircraft workload", and a THREAT, to the FAA. Ie., if you want to move to a model of charging us to use a controller, we will want to move to a model without controllers. Scott Moore |
