SSA petition to allow transponder to be turned off

Tim,

Let's get to the part about me being reckless first: you wrote

"if it were legal to wear an out of date parachute, would
you, or anyone else bother to have it inspected or repacked?? I rather
doubt
it....in fact you're already suggested you wouldn't..."

I didn't suggest any such thing, and please don't you suggest that
about me. In fact, in my post I said this wasn't the point, and I
said my chute is always properly packed.

On the other hand, you yourself just suggested that the 120-day
requirement is overkill.

Now to the part where I'm still feeling like I just stepped into the
middle of Alice Through The Looking Glass:

Tim Mara

just posted a statement

supporting

a regulation that,

under certain commonplace circumstances,

requires

a pilot in command

to substitute

a seat cushion for a parachute

when going flying.


TIM MARA supports that? As a SAFETY measure?

Boy, that just can't be. What was in that coffee I just drank?

Wow.
