I've flown an ultra light before, and even though I will admit its a lot of fun, its an aircraft - people should have a license or a certain amount of training to fly one. We have similar problems in Australia with people ignoring regulations. Licences don't have to be…

And this is a result of a change in school curriculum that was to address "Problems ranged from bullying to social withdrawal to an inability to think beyond the regurgitation of memorized facts".

The Aviation industry is very strict with its standards in regards to 'piloting' under the influence of alcohol. The standard of no alcohol 8 hours before piloting is also true in Australia, and I think ANA's in-house rule of 12 hours is a great stance for the company to take.…
