PFA Rally
I've read all that you write and would agree on some points.
However as a member of the booking in team I would assure you that it would not be practical to have joining facilities at THAT point of entry. Be it that you want to enjoy the benefits of reduced entry to the Rally then you have just less than 12 months to join. Why do wait till you get there? There is a lot more to the PFA than the Rally you know.
To revert for a moment to the booking in element of this I have noticed a very peculier thing about pilots in general. The format for booking in is as follows:
The pilot is asked the following simple questions in this sequence...
Registration mark
Aircraft type
First name of pilot
POB
Where from.
This year ( as usual) NOT ONE PILOT was able to answer question3.
Makes you think doesn't it?
I too would like to see some changes to the Rally. I don't want it to fold any more than most people. For some it has been the only way to fly cheaply which is what it should be all about.
If anyone out there who is not working the PFA Bulletin Board has anything tangible to input then please consider letting the PFA or one of its EC members know. All good suggestions will be gladly received.
Thanks.
