SCROGGS,
Support what Cirrus is saying. Maybe the commercial pilots could make clear on the petition that they are aviators. There is an awful lot of work going on in the airlines to reduce the chance for fuel tank explosions. It would send out a strong message to the Govt if the commercial aviation world backed our demand for fuel tank protection.
Chappie maybe MFAW should hang back before pulling the petition. Does anyone have any contacts at Flight International? They appear to be on side in all this, maybe they could run an article. That would get world wide coverage.
Chappie your break seems to have done you some good, welcome back to our little front line!
