Interesting comments as ever and not too surprising.
Oil tankers like government agency do move slowly but ten years - thats more like it is in dock.
AOPA - yes, but how long do they need.
Any chance of it changing - sadly no.
Worth having a moan about - well yes, because it is unacceptable and we are paying these people. If enough of us really sort to do something about it change might come - as it is I doubt I will ever see it - but I fully intend to go on moaning about it
