Glen alone will carry this only so far. But what is to prevent, say, each and every one of us from sending a letter to the PM to ask for concrete change in GA?
How many would rally to the cause? I reckon 5000 fellow pilots and GA stakeholders is not a fanciful number. We draft a carefully written letter,
everyone prints it out, signs and sends it to Canberra on a weekly basis. A matter of pocket change and finding a mailbox for most. Medium term, there's no way this will go unnoticed.
This system is dysfunctional because it is has no built-in checks and balances. Ultimately the only reason why Australia has settled for mediocrity while being country this big and with infrastructure in place to be at the top, is because we stakeholders allowed it to be. This picture above sums it all up: what good is all that extra paper if the resulting system is not safer than the alternative?
