What to make of these hearings?
We’ve heard it all before ad nauseam, some glimmers from the likes of Sen. Brockman but obviously they don’t have the depth of knowledge to make the case.
For example medicals where the statistics do not support the incredible stringencies and colossal costs imposed on pilots. Also Ms. Spence got away with her statement that only 100 applicants were denied.
In reality there’d certainly be hundreds of pilots that simply gave up due to ever increasing demands from AVMED for numerous expensive tests etc., and for many pilots especially in the bush, travel to specialists isn’t economical or where they must work practically impossible.
Ms. Spence should have given out those numbers, those that lapsed due to impositions, and especially those that were denied against specialists advice.
