I’ve met Phil Boyer (AOPA Pres for those who don’t know the organization) on several occasions. An exemplary individual and one of the easist execs with whom to just talk about flying that you would ever want to meet.
One thing they might want to add to that flyer would be the seat miles traveled by GA aircraf.
I dont know what it is today but about 15 years ago it was about 20%.
If most of those people flew commercial the pasangers of todsy would be mighty unhappy with the crowded airports and airplanes along with the large price increases.
Another thing would be the hugh increase in package delevry service cost that would occur.
Asfar as GA crowding the ATC system, one thing no one talks about is the thousands of daily flights huling bank checks that are being eliminated constantly with checks being cleared electronicly.
I used to keep my plane next to Cal Air Charter in Burbank that flew 80 sigles, 2 jets, and a chopper daily and that business is being eliminated. They were only one of the ones servicing So. Cal., they were part of Unitd Courier.
That used to be a big business, when they had a plane down I occasionaly did a flight for them or transport parts and an IA to repair it.
