I'd like to see the GPC give the same rights as L2 Independent Ops, but only require a checkride to maintain it (just like PPL/RAA) instead of being reliant on a CFI's annual blessing. If a GPC pilot isn't considered good enough to be responsible for their own actions, something is terribly wrong with the training system.
A driver's license is yours until you do something silly to lose it, and you are responsible for your own driving. The same goes for PPL/RAA, boating, and a huge pile of other activities. Just like these activities, equipment owners/clubs are free to place whatever additional requirements they want on the use of their facilities. If a GPC holder can't be trusted to be responsible for their own operations then they should never have been given a GPC.
