Squawk, I simply note that professional pilot associations, Airlines and the RAAF, CASA and AsA, have absolutely no interest in:
a) maintaining an efficient and sustainable Australian aviation industry, including a viable general aviation and training sector
(b) the need for more people to benefit from civil aviation
They are thus part of the problem, not the solution.
All of them have vested interests in the status quo. They like being an exclusive little club and Dicks overtures are about as popular as Donald Trump is with feminists. The last thing any of these organizations want is more GA or Recreational Aircraft “polluting their airspace”. In addition as a group there is also the possibility that they are simpl snobs.
To put that another way, exactly when has there been any support for reform from those bodies? Never.
