The “safety” argument BS is the only thing that’s honestly old and needs to be retired
If both sides honestly cared about safety we could fix that right quick by changing how we do recurrent rides, both in difficulty, making them less predictable, and making popping a ride an immediate termination.
Yet both sides crying “safety” aint about all that now are they 😆
You totally misunderstand FARs and safety - if lobbying to change a FAR, you have to be able to document that it’s safer. Otherwise why would we change it to less safe? That would be dumb! The proof that it is safer is incumbent on those trying to change it.
You’re also wrong in your assessment that both sides are the same when it comes to $. When you are asking for more of something at the expense of the majority of pilots - who are asking for absolutely nothing additional - YOU are the greedy one. Can’t be greedy if we’re not asking for any changes. Nice try at false equivalence, but that ain’t working here.
