Why aren’t these stories the automatic subject of discussion on PPRuNe?
I guess it’s because lots of people have worked out that fulminating on PPRuNe doesn’t achieve much and, even if all PPRuNers magically agreed that something should be changed (coincident with hell freezing over), it’s not enough to bring about change.
If you want to get the Civil Aviation Act changed, Dick, tell the Labor Party and Coalition that you will run a ‘vote for anyone but them’ public campaign at the next federal election. They’re the ones responsible for the privatisation of airports, the regulatory dog’s breakfast, the red tape and most of the other stuff that’s driven GA into the ground.
They don’t care, unless there’s a credible threat to their cozy duopoly. It’s happening slowly, but a high profile campaign against them by someone with your influence might help to ‘focus’ their attention on the threat.
They’ll all pretend to be ‘best buds’ with you Dick. Don’t fall for it again. They’ll promise you lots Dick. Don’t fall for it again.
Pat them on the head when the change you want occurs and ignore them whenever their lips are moving.
