And liberals always want more of them.
Jesus christ on a stick, Francis, did you actually READ the article? Maybe in Francis' MagicalLibertarianLand it's perfectly OK to dispense with cumbersome regulations like "To be a pilot for hire, you must have a commercial pilot license". But no, in Francis' MagicalLibertarianLand such regulations are unnecessary because everyone is of such moral standing that they'd NEVER hire some kid to fly their 737 for southwest airlines because he has a sport pilot license, and a great score in X-plane: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certification_in_the_United_States#Sport_pilot> Instead of a commercial license: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certification_in_the_United_States#Commercial_pilot> (actually, the SW Air example needs an even higher level of certification: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_certification_in_the_United_States#Airline_transport_pilot>) I know you thing the great and powerful OZ , I mean Invisible Hand of the Market, will prevent this sort of thing but the regulations, believe it or not are in place for a fucking reason, because back in the days before the FAA all sorts of stupid shit happened, and lots of planes crashed, and lots of people died. He'll get his waiver, they just have to make sure they do it in such a fashion that any Tom, Dickhead or Francis can't hop in his home-made ultralight and start flying folks around for pay, claiming the same exemption. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
