having watched this thread develop, one can only get the impression that AOPA is close to sinking under the waves - the good intentions of a few are not enough to overcome the damage caused
there is nobody left over or in the lineup that in my opinion has to date shown the ability to bring the association back to life
not even the new chairman can get the forum back up or the financial statement on the web page -what hope is there
no matter how good the new board might be - the only solution to solve the existing problems is that they must all stand aside in favour of some new and respected faces
until that occurs the members will keep jumping ship
and this at a time when GA needs representation more than ever
not good
