Truly, it is not the FAA that rule over aviation.  It is actually the insurance companies.  We have seen 30% increases in premiums almost every year.  Especially on the corporate side of aviation.  Now these companies are requiring 1000 flight hours for a co-pilot/first officer.  This is greatly harming our new pilots just trying to get their first job.  Maybe it is time to start our own membership driven insurance?  Article and video will be coming soon!
