Well I hope the cone of silence is lifted soon so we can start to lobby whomever we need to.
I understand something delicate is going on but I think many of us are ready to go to bat.
Ben thanks for doing the research,
I'm scratching my head at the whole "Cones Of Silence" thing. As I was last month when DB said "keep it cool, don't talk about the whole licensing thing" in his column in MA. What do you mean, don't talk about it? What kind of weirdness is that?
If it's an FAA NPRM, then it will go through a whole big process...it's a "notice of PROPOSED rule making..." and there will be time to figure the whole thing out.
Not that I have any idea what is going on, but I think it's already pretty safe to say it was NOT as originally posted: "feds shoot down jets", that's not really the situation at all.
If it IS just "federally funded airports must remain open during events", that's not really a big deal.
