Although I wasn't happy about the policies, I registered and was planning to continue Young Eagle flights, HOWEVER, as has been mentioned above, now that there are written rules that likely will be busted with regularity, I have to reconsider.
In my profession as a CPA we had to develop and follow a Quality Control Plan within our office. As long as we include the minimum requirements in the plan and follow them, we are good. However, if we add any additional policies, but happen not to follow one, we get busted at Peer Review time, even if the policy is over and above the minimum requirements.
I feel that is exactly what has been done here.
Perverts are going to get to kids regardless of what feel good rules are put in place. They always have and always will. Plain old common sense takes care of most of it.
