You clearly don't realize that a huge percentage of the "hobby" flying you are proposing banning is either training related or part of the 1500 hours of flight time required by law before one can become an airline pilot. Your suggestion would result in even fewer pilots being available in a few short years, when we're already seeing a huge shortage. If your goal is to shut down aviation as a whole, you're on track...
- sockaddr 4y agoSounds good to me. And while we’re at it let’s replace domestic aviation with some more rail.
- vdqtp3 4y agoSo coast to coast travel can take days instead of hours. Wonderful suggestion.
- Dylan16807 4y ago"Most of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor" is 125mph rail. With rail of that quality, without many stops and without freight interrupting the schedule much, crossing the US could be a one day trip. NYC to LA is 2790 miles by freeway, so somewhere between 26-30 hours seems realistic (average speed 100±7mph). And that's without even looking at 200mph+ rail.
