In American politics it doesn’t get any better than that.

The above is a sad statement on America isn't it?

"Dr. B." Do you work for the FAA/Government?
It sounds to me like you do, you imply that the American people are to "stupid" to take care of them selves and need the government to "take care of them" or better yet it takes a villege-       When "political correctness dies" and the truth means more than a sound bite, or a contribution... maybe...  "In American politics it doesn’t get any better than that."

The FAA like the IRS is there to help, assist and advise...All there work is like progress, not all bad...not all good. We are stuck with it eather way.

Of course Watson’s right. FAA knows that if it weren’t for GA they’d be a backwater bureau in a do-nothing Agency.

 

Changes in the performance envelopes and  configurations of commercial aircraft, and consequent changes in the aviation infrastructure of airports and electronic nav gadgets proceed glacially, requiring urgent review about every ten years and certainly does NOT require constant oversight by thousands of busy bureaucratic minions.

 

However, we do. GA is so varied, so ebullient, so volatile, that we need an FAA to keep everything in line. Consider the alternative, that non-pilots would dictate regulations, or that people like we on this forum would self-police, and that ought REALLY to scare you.

 

Let’s hear it for our FAA, the only public relations firm par excellence, with teeth. At least they listen to us. Well, ok, they listen to our muscle – AOPA, EAA.  

 

In American politics it doesn’t get any better than that.

Here’s a quote from the Fly-UL forum.  Bill Watson wrote (tongue in cheek):

 

I have found that most if not all FAA actions can be best described as the

FAA is a Public Relations firm for flying in the US. If anybody causes bad

PR, they will read their rules absurdely to bust you. If you do not cause

bad PR (police reports, civillian complaints, etc) they will happily let you

go about your business. If you cause good PR, you can be given get out of

jail free cards. It is all about the PR.

 

 

I’m wondering if maybe Bill hit the nail on the head.
