I wasnt intending to get into a debate about AOPA but I asked them a while ago what they were doing about the IR issue - I still havent had a reply. I was a member for many years but became a bit disillusioned with the lack of success they seemed to have. I was also a member of PPL IR and again was disappointed how little they seemed to address this particular issue. Maybe they are both really trying and maybe they have exactly the same problems Workinghard sets out and have just got nowhere.
Perhaps I am being very nieve but it seems to me if only GA could really get together on the issues as seems to happen in the States we might have some success in the short term. I suppose the time everything seems to take eventually wears us down!
