Mr. Reinhardt, the other thing that came out of those presentations was, for me, essentially, a desire on the part of people in the field to have the regulator, whose presence would be feared and respected, actually in the field all the time. I kept thinking about those two terms, those two words, through virtually everything the two presenters indicated. Industry itself and the travelling public itself want to have that environment and that atmosphere.
I thought that while I could accept the perception that the more data you have, the more you build a fuller picture of the trends--what could go wrong, what does go wrong, and what you need to correct it--you need to have fear and respect in the field. The travelling public, including those who operate aircraft, whether privately or with other associations, need to have it in order to go to work every day with a clear conscience.
I only just started going over your amendments, and I don't know whether the ones that are coming are going to address that. But you appear, in the past, to have contradicted that particular view. You thought, in fact, that the amassing of evidence would be sufficient to establish a system that everybody would accept, whereas the people who are among the people in the field told us in no uncertain terms this afternoon, hey, we don't want any part of that; unless the regulator is there instilling fear and respect, nothing's going to work.
