Touchie, touchie, Garry.
But you do seem to have selective memory, I'm an AOPA member, and I remember the survey that came around in the magazine, at the AGM it was said that the response was quite good in terms of members responding, and the result was strongly in favor of NAS. Your just playing with words, to suggest that "monitoring the implementation" somehow means a big policy shift. Then again, words are all you are good at, words are cheap, words don't substitute for action.
As for Hamilton, you did your best to unseat him, you failed, despite all the vilifying claims you were making.There wasn't the groundswell against him that you claimed.
You got tossed of the Executive at the AGM and it doesn't matter how many voted, you came last.
And you were a one term wonder, a legend in your own play lunchtime. Things change with the guard, ask around and you may find many more support AOPA since your departure.
