Don’t answer Glen, instead allow me:
Luce, your question is irrelevant, insulting and misleading.
You might as well ask: “As a Catholic Diocese, what would you reply if a local brothel asked to be included in your congregation?”.
You are implying that APTA is/ was established as a deceitful umbrella organization to give cover to a variety of disreputable operators.
This is consistent with the apparent view of your employer that all pilots are “uncaught criminals”.
Nice try.
