"Governments don't lead the industry. The industry leads government. And if you don't believe that, then boy this is really the wrong industry to be in because they are way behind us. Did you drink the Kool-Aid this morning with Randy [Babbitt]? The government is going to tell us how much money we're going to save with this new system that they are going to make us pay for. What the? We need to start passing out Kool-Aid at all these things. The SMS Kool-Aid. The NextGen Kool-Aid," Aeronautical Repair Stations Association executive director Sarah Macleod said in reference to how FAA administrator Randy Babbitt and regulators have a penchant for telling the aviation industry how much money it will save with NextGen and SMS through investment. Irrespective of how you feel on the matter, I'm sure you'll agree that it would be a refreshing change if everyone was this frank. I'll have what she's having :-)
