One voice?

Why are we hearing from the VP of AOPA Ron Bertram? Why isn't Ron Lawford making these statements to the press.

AOPA have a legitimate say in what happens even if they are only a "lobby group" according to some.

But it seems that not everyone within AOPA agrees with some of the statements made by their executive. Sometimes the executive seem to disagree amongst themselves. Perhaps it's because so many of the executive seem to want to be heard in the media.

Civilair, AIPA, AFAP, TWU, RAAA, etc all have one person who is the contact with the media for policy and comments. Why can't AOPA do the same?

But what is worst, they don't seem to have a handle on what's going on. AsA proposing a temporary rollback? AsA aren't proposing any rollback. Just an "enhancement" of NAS which includes frequencies on charts, some slight modification to the steps around some airfields, and maybe some more educational material.

Hey you dudes in AOPA. 2C is on the way.

Don't be afraid, be very afraid!
