On the PFA BB Graham Newby has posted the following:

What can I say, other than we got it wrong this year,
and conceded that the pricing structure was not right and will be overhauled and that they are keen on comments.

It is always nice to be vindicated but I think the most important point of that posting is that there is interest from the PFA for what people think, say and post.

I'd say that is a positive thing.

I think that the Rally needs to decide what it wants to be; either a PFA club event for mainly members which then can easily be run by the PFA itself or truly the biggest aviation event outside the US and probably needs to be run by a professional event organiser.

That does not mean that I think that those organising the Rally have done a bad job, far from it as I am all to aware of the hard work which is needed to set these things up, more that it is bloody hard work to organise an event of this scale with a mix of volunteers and commercial organisations and a lot of financial pressure.
