You misread my post. I was arguing <i>for</i> regulation and enforcement thereof.<p>&gt; Why should people who didn&#x27;t pass these tests be allowed to fly people around commercially?<p>By that I meant: people who didn&#x27;t pass these tests should, not be allowed to fly people around commercially -- so I share the opinion of that US court.<p>&gt; Also, why couldn&#x27;t that company provide the certificate?<p>By that I meant: &quot;cover their pilots cost of certification and do the other duties (e.g. ensure maintenance gets done, and be liable if it isnt) airlines have to do&quot;, not &quot;just hand out certifications&quot;.
