Ron, the news report did not say the FAA had done this yet, nor die I, but was expected to do so soon. So, in the next weeks we can see how accurate the report is, or not. My guess is that the media has this one substantially correct.

And Wes as to avoiding airline travel, well certainly TSA is a unpleasant experience, and some airlines are too. But they have their place. I just went from Aspen to Austin mostly on Southwest, for a football weekend. Out early am Fri and back by 10 pm Sun. We had torrential rains in the Denver area, I probably couldn't have flown it safely myself, and the fuel cost migth make it as expensive or more so that the airline.I've thought about taking my plane to Ft. Worth for AOPA summit, but again the airline will be about as cheap and not have to sweat the weather.

I recenlty flew my plane to Provo, Utah for a weekend. Less than 2 hours over in good vfr, and almost 3 days back due to IMC.
