ultimately some businesses are going to need to feel the consequences of environmentally unsustainable practices. as another example, there might not be a future for cheap cruise ships that burn bunker fuel. if it would be truly ruinous to the pilot training pipeline, you could grandfather in the smaller flight schools. my main thought here is that we should not continue to manufacture engines that burn leaded fuel. there's plenty of room to compromise over who gets to continue using engines that already exist.

I don't disagree with you, but there are many thousands of perfectly good planes from previous decades that are in good shape (they have to be inspected annually) that will be a long legacy. Right now I can find 63 pre-1960 single-piston aircraft for sale, with the cheapest being US$ 42K from 1945 as I type this: * https://www.controller.com/listings/search?Category=6&ScopeCategoryIDs=13&Year=1928%2A1959&sort=2 https://www.controller.com/listings/search?Category=6&ScopeC... One of the oldest is a 1928 biplane ($130K). If you're a WW2 enthusiast there's a 1940 Hawker Hurricane for US$ 2.7M.
