It's pretty to demonstrate its impracticality. I'm not sure why so many
pilots feel they must prove that their flying has practical value, and isn't
simply a hobby that they find enjoyable.

It's a bit like golfers trying to prove that their sport is better exercise
than a purpose-designed program.



Many people demonstrate its practicality day after day. Most pilots
though who don't own their own planes cannot ever make it practical to
fly for transportation. THose of us who do own can make claims that it
does. Your opinion on the matter is moot since you have never been in a
GA aircraft and have probably never been to an uncontrolled airport nor
seen what operations are like at those airports.

Alaskan commerce and life as it exists today would not be able to
function without GA.

You don't know what you are talking about.
