The more I dig, the more I seem to find alternative agendas. If we take out ECMAN, most of what is left is old news. I am increasingly of the opinion we have been manipulated in an attempt to bring the PFA into disrepute. I do not think the organisation is perfect, far from it, but it is not as bad as it is being portrayed and some of the criticism is coming from people with old scores, which have little or nothing to do with the day-to-day operation of the PFA.
Take the “PFA to take over the world by force” rumour, for example. It appears to come from a collaborative initiative, jointly under discussion between BMAA, PFA and the CAA. I am still finding out about this, but it is real Sunday Sport stuff to suggest the PFA are doing any wrong, on this one.
I am building my own aircraft and have a very high regard for the engineering side, which is the main part the CAA are interested in. I will start a new topic on my experiences and we will see how people rate the “PFA way”, my direct, personal experience would give them 7 or 8 out of 10 for admin and engineering, both of which seem immune to most of the politics.
This thread has become corrupted and should be taken with a large dose of cynicism.
