You've Got says "Some food for thought" heres some more ..
Have the Pilots of South Africa ever considered organizing. Thats to say at least those who fly for hire, commercial and above. Airline types may already have a represntative to speak for them, but I think there are a lot of commercial types both Fixed Wing and Rotorheads who really have no one they can call for assistance. Especially those who work for small companies with just a few Pilots.
Its much easier for Government Agencies to hammer individuals than a group. Some kind of AOPA/South Africa (
www.aopa.org)comes to mind. Im sure someone will fill me in on the subject....
