Troll of the year award

Yes, the studies are a joke, and are rigged. Generally performed by
consultants paid for by the industry. Its similar to when Boyer calls for
the AOPA do do an unbiased study of user fees. LOL.

The "studies" mostly look just a gross payroll at the airport (some even
include the businesses that located on or near airport property -- as if
these would not exist w/o the airport) and then spinoff spending (the
hamburgers and such consumed by the fliers and their hapless passengers).
For small GA airports in areas already accessible by rail or roadway, the
economic benefits are negligible to negative.

None of the studies looks at the opportunity cost of the foregone land,
the external costs of pollution (air, water and noise), etc. If these
damned things were such economic engines, why on earth do they need annual
operating subsidies from the FAA?

No, that is an "ass" with an ax to grind.

In 'street talk' ...Would that be an "ask" to grind? g

;-). Are you one of the "impacted pilots" that Boyer is talking about??
WTF is an "impacted pilot?" I assume, one who survived a crash. AOPA
provides no insight.

As 2005, a very eventful year for GA, nears an end, I'd like to ask all the
pilots here to consider having a Troll of the Year award.

Judging criteria might include the troll's:
- persistance
- ability to annoy large groups of GA pilots on a variety of topics
- understanding of the problems that GA is experiencing, and using them
to advantage
- lack of personal attacks
- being impervious to threats made by certain pilots
- sense of humour
- etc.

I humbly nominate myself, and I thank you for your consideration.


You're disqualified by the third criterion.

Skylune,
I only came across few of your postings including this one. IMHO,
you are just a self-aggrandizing aviation gnat. I will nominate you
for the hot cowpie award. BTW, I don't think buzzing about in the
rec.aviation sandbox is considered a 'real' sport ;-)

More self aggrandizing than some of the pilots here?? Wow, that is tough
to accomplish. Thanx.

Hey, in reality, I am a big fat TURD and I love to jerk all the chains
out here in rec.aviation.piloting land.

Ah, the impostor. Hi!

We are many!
