Sorry Islander, but I really doubt the National director will do anything about it. He, the same as all APF people, derive income from skydiving, and once in a while jump though cloud if they need to, and jump into aeroplanes pushing the pilot to go...
You said it, the day the accident happens things might change. Until then, the people responsible for the safety (pilots) are the only ones with the power to not do the wrong thing, and give CASA HELL until something is done about unsafe practices.
Forget the APF on this matter.
