this has nothing to do with making the US safer, it has to do with regulation gone wild in the name bueuricratic growth.

Incredible. Well, along with submitting my own comments, we all need to make our feelings know to the trade organization that we pay big bucks to every year, to nip this pronto!

Total Pork.

Comment submitted, forwarded to other pilots to comment on as well.

It is not about security. It is about the Government making it it's business to know where the passengers are going and who is on board for tax reasons. Personal use of business aircraft.

Thanks for the link. You got a comment from one pilot who wouldn't have found it himself.

Hi!

The ONLY thing I like about the rule change is it makes it more fair for us.

We have a -121 50 seat airplane. When we do a private charter, we have to screen the pax and bags, and do a manifest check via DHS.

When our competitors come in with a -121 50 seat airplane for private charter, they do NOT have to screen the PAX, do NOT have to screen the bags, and do NOT have to do a manifest check via DHS.

It adds cost and complexity to our operation, that our competitors don't have-bogus!

The key here, cliff, is both you and your competitor are part 121.

This NPRM will apply to non-commercial part 91 operators.

I don't know why the disparity between you and a 50 seat RJ other than MTOW difference and the DC9 falling under the existing program, but there's no reason for a PRIVATE operator to go through this rigmarole.

Airplanes over 90K MGTOW have to screen, under doesn't

Exactly what will the TSA require us part 91 people do? I'm not up to speed on the "Large Airplane Security Program"
