I was a member of the AAFI (Australian Association of Flight Instructors) for a few years. In that time never received a newsletter, phone call or privilege.
Since the people that administer the organisation are operators themselves you are wasting your time. One of the biggest problem in GA today is the pay that pilots receive. Do you really think that the organisation that are responsible for the terrible standards are going to fight for your rights by taking action against themselves? Crazy!
Their numbers are pathetic because the organisation is pathetic. They are a joke.
