I am the last person in the US who thinks the political right is my way, but EAS is just waste of money which benefits a few hundred to a (maximum) few thousand passengers nationwide and a few wealthy airline owners who have pilots building time for very, very bad pay and in exchange get very wealthy by operating shady companies. We all know of what I speak.
