I apologized for the tone a couple times so far, but will do so again. I happen to think there may be things worth considering, but again I've never had the responsibility of being a CD nor holding a turbine waiver.

An entirely different approach is needed in the Jet Community than one would find in the military. This approach is more of a self policing effort and education effort at jet rallies. I am all for taking the time to rethink the approach CD's and the community take regarding safety and adjusting action points as needed. Trying to turn it into a JAG investigation, where you assign yourself as the judge, jury and prosecutor, is going to get you ZERO results and ZERO cooperation.
