What a ridiculous argument and I don't see how anything I've said is remotely condescending.
Why should I have to phone an organisation that I'm not a member of and I have no desire to join to have legitimate questions answered that should be able to be answered by all those pushing this idea here on pprune? AFAP people started the discussion here, so why can't my questions be answered here?
Why would the AFAP disclose its reasons for pursuing a rule change and not pursuing unity to a non member over the phone (who could be anyone, a journalist etc) when it coold otherwise just do you publicly? Or you could do it for them, since you apparently have the answers already?
PS still waiting to hear any reasons why, as a mainline pilot, I would possibly want to join the AFAP. Surprised it's been 45 odd posts and not one reason yet.
