now that we are allowing a rule not to be enforced at a non FRIA location, what rule is next to be not enforced at some select location?
turbine waiver requirement
greater than 55 pound without over weight build inspection
no alcohol consumption while flying
the slope is slippery, once you have stepped even a little way out onto it.
who decides where and when to stop, and can it even be stopped, once the "wall" has been breached?
My Friends, I think Mongo has a fair concern with the watering down of the rules. I don't see him as an "outlaw" in this view, rules are rules, and enacted for a reason. While some may see this particular change as being in our favor (I'm not so sure yet), it does set the stage for further tweaks of the rules, some of which my not be in our favor, the so called slippery slope Mongo mentions. Not all people who examine changes are looking to rabble rouse, some may well be genuinely concerned that once the rule changes start, when DO they rear up and bite us in the Butt VS go in our favor? So we examine all changes with a wary eye.......
Keep pluggin Mongo
