No don't ban CDOs... some of us commute!!!
I would change several FARs... I could never narrow it down to one. Here's my top three.
91.13: Careless/ reckless needs to be defined. I have fought too many disciplinary cases where a pilot gets nailed for something stupid like taking the wrong airplane under this clause. The pilot may be stupid, but reckless is extreme.
91.?? 200kt below the floor of Class B airspace (a.k.a. the ATL "Speed Trap"): When you slow for it and ATC asks you to pick your speed back up, something's wrong. Dumb rule. Why do they vector us down there anyhow? Prop trash I guess.
91.xx instrument approaches: All pilots should have to have the reported weather above minimums before beginning an approach, as commercial flying does. The "go take a look" policy in part 91 flying has claimed too many lives because it invites pilots to bust minimums.
