I am glad you agree it is a stupid rule. In the case of a third-class
medical it only tells us that you were more-or-less healthy two years
ago. Yeah, like that means anything today.

Oh, no, we certainly wouldn't want to say anything bad about them. After
all, they do it for us.

As you say, it is your prerogative.

I grew up a long time ago. I am exercising my right to disagree. If
anyone can give me even one good reason that our non-governmental
volunteer organization that is supposedly here to improve our mutual
flying experience and help improve training for the good of all of us is
requiring a flight suit in order to participate in training, then I will
shut up. But you can't because there is NO reason to require it.

So the RSPA should *require* me to wear a flight suit? It is no long my
choice? My decision is removed by a few people in a volunteer organization?
I never said that wearing a flight suit might not be a good idea. (I
suspect that in summer I will be safer without one because the threat of
hyperthermia is much greater than the threat of flash fire.) I just said
that the organization shouldn't require it.
So Hitman, you are saying that requiring a flight suit is more important
than training so that if people don't wear a flight suit we shouldn't
allow them to train. Gotcha.
