Disagree. They've betrayed the aviation community more than once in recent times. Let's go back a few years to when Michael Huerta sold everyone out by striking a secret back-room deal with the Santa Monica city council to give one of our iconic (and federally-owned) GA airports to corrupt local politicians to be destroyed. Oh, AND he allowed the city to shorten the runway to make it unusable to some jets. Why do BOTH? Shortening the runway eliminated the only shred of a basis for complaint coming from anyone in the area, so there was no excuse for any further selling-out. To this day we don't know exactly what kind of political quid pro quos took place in this shameful episode. Then there was the ridiculous ruling that it was illegal for people to receive pilot training in their own airplanes, contradicting decades of prior practice and rule interpretation. That had to be undone by Congress: https://www.flyingmag.com/flight-instruction-faa/ https://www.flyingmag.com/flight-instruction-faa/ And recently there was a ruling that essentially made go-arounds (aborted landings) illegal (if the testimony here is true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpFDRoStcd4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpFDRoStcd4 ). I had faith the FAA once. No more.
