Well, it is impossible to prove a negative and also impossible to prove that something that hasn't yet happened will happen. So we both have the same hole in our argument. I can see why you feel the concern is not justified, though I still hold to it. I'm willing to live with that. ^.^

My main beef with this is how AOPA plays it. They play it as joe and bob renting a C172, when that's not what's being proposed at all. AOPA tries to hide the fact that they lobby hard for part 91 business flying, corporate, etc. I wouldn't mind so much if they were actually representing it fairly, then we could debate the pros and cons and maybe talk about the possible repercussions and affects outside of the intentions, but as it stands, they are about scaring the GA population to benefit corporate flying.

There's also a huge difference between "airline" in your first post and "commercial" in your second. They are not interchangeable terms for what you are attempting to describe.
