The real problem is that the CAA have not had to deal with any effective opposition to there policys in the past. At long last GA is getting it's act together with AOPA, PFA and others moving into political lobbying and putting pressure on them.
My plee is that ALL pilots in the GA sector join one of the oganisations that is working to get the results for GA that we want, the trouble is that a lot of pilots will spend £120 to fly for a cup of tea on a Sunday but won't spend £48 on a years membership of the PFA.
