Well LAA members certainly need to vote on the basis of very well known facts. It is almost inconceivable that TCT would succeed (although we have yet to see the exact terminology of the motion). From my point of view there then needs to be some housekeeping on the LAA's part. The first element is a vote of 'no confidence' in Stewart Jackson'. On the LAA website he is stated to be a director. Amongst the duties of a director are to exercise 'due diligence' inI discharging their duties - a difficult thing to justify if you are supporting a proven 'untruth'.

Then I think that the award of prizes for events or achievements which the blazer brigade believe are worthy needs to be re-considered. An LAA member flying an LAA aircraft maybe - but how can a sponsored dual flight with well-publicised errors and mistakes be worthy of a prize? How can it be worthy of re-consideration? It seems the LAA board need to either grow a backbone or get out of meaningless dinners and prizes.
