Rosco Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 i should have elaborated abit more. i agree it is a loss and another black eye to the industry but the scumbags poisoning our youth, the future of our country, deserve what they got comin, whether it be death in a helicopter crash or gettin a bullet to the head in a drug deal gone bad. i know it's a very simplistic view but it is what it is. they are two distinct issues but with one common denominator.

vortex Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 TC has been too busy keeping us dangerous operators safe to worry about general aviation...after all how dangerous could GA be anyway? Ops manuals, PPC's, PCC's, TDG, TC audits, internal audits, MCM's, MPM's, SMS etc. are there to keep us and the flying public so safe, how could we possibly have an accident. Oh yeah, and now we get to have accountable executives too! Yipee, we're so safe I'm almost giddee :punk: GA...60 hours gets you a PHL and you pretty much never have to see TC again. Maybe TC should look statistically at equivalent accident/incident levels per hour flown and forget about us evil commercial types and look around.
