MFT,
The attitude which seems to radiate from the PFA is very much the one which TonyR 'verbalises'
You kindly invite
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.
but it seems that even those that do write on the PFA BB don't get listened to and those that don't agree with the 'official line' get marginalised by the people that are in charge of the PFA and like to do a bit of navel gazing.
From reading the PFA BB and for that matter any BB you only have to read the postings to understand that not all is well with the PFA.
I can only observe from these and the PFA magazine that there are a lot of issues floating about making a lot of people very unhappy on the one side and that there is not the ability or the willingness from the PFA to address these or at least communicate with its members and the aviation community at large (which should be potential members) whether and how these issues are going to be tackled.
Have no axe to grind, don't know anybody personally within the association, have no permit aircraft, just observe how all this unhappiness is unfolding in front of my eyes as a member, signed up by the way at the entrance to Cranfield some time ago, at the gate, paying with a bit of plastic, to enjoy the advertised, reduced rate.
