This man is an idiot. Licensing is necessary for safety. There is no constitutional right to drive. You want to get somewhere, walk or buy a bike. On this level of stupidity, anyone should be aloud to pilot a plane without a license. That would be swell.

Here is an actual pic of this dude sitting at his job.

Never in a million years can you claim that as a typo.
Spell check can't do it all.

Can you say "sweet irony"?

No, flying a plane at the current state of development is not even close to driving a car.

I am not a pilot but I think it takes hundreds of hours of training to be a decent one. Probably thousands to be a great one.

Yes. Actually. Any licensing or proof of competency should never be left up to a government bureaucrat.

A private set of competing organizations like the IEEE would be much better able to provide insurance, training, and licensing across a broad spectrum of transportation vehicles for the general public. Not just cars, but boats, snowmobiles, aircraft, etc...

My Dad taught me how to drive when I was 14. By the time I had my actual license, I was already a good driver. This isn't rocket surgery...
