The GA flight plan has one purpose: to make the GA sector shut up before the next Federal election. That is why it says nothing about changing the Act. After that, the embuggerance will continue unchanged or perhaps with a little glitter applied to the regulatory turd that you are being asked to swallow.

I always thought pilots were fast learners. I was wrong.

The only way you will get meaningful regulatory change is to bludgeon the politicians at the ballot box. The most economical way for AOPA to do that is through mounting cheap and vicious negative electoral campaigns in marginal electorates of ALL parties until frightened politicians give you what you want.

You got bought off by smoke, mirrors and flattery at Wagga and that will become apparent after the forthcoming Federal election. You wasted your energy and momentum.
