Default Bill Would Allow Online Flight Sharing

Hello George,

It sort of smacks of Uber, the ride sharing Internet service that is exploiting
a questionable workaround traditional taxi service. I can see where this
flight sharing idea could morph into such a thing, on the one hand.


If the bill passes, it will likely foster a revival in private general aviation
operations, and reverse the current spiral to oblivion all the government,
military, and monied interests are working hard to precipitate, IMNSHO.

Given our dysfunctional Congress, and the influence of our "fourth branch of
government," lobbyists, my crystal ball doesn't show the bill passing in my
lifetime. But, like quad-copter drones, recreational cannabis sales, and the
alternative taxi system, it could become such a burgeoning onslaught, that
resistance is futile, and government will once again have to accede to the will
of the people.

How do you see it?

Larry

As a NZ PPL I sometimes went somewhere with a few mates who put a few
bob in the kitty.Nowadays there is very little GA around.
Nowadays the sound of a light aircraft is rare.
This could be the birth of an aviation Renaissance
A couple of us were contemplating getting Chemical Ratings so we could
use (at the time) a PA18 on family farms for spraying and topdressing.
You can do so as a PPL and as we both wore glasses that was our limit.
And you get on an aircraft now and one or both pilots are wearing glasses.
Common sense and only 50 years to late !
