Xavier, unfortunately you are right about certain issues however what bothers me is that the tone of your argument echoes that of the FAAA. That is, we're up against a tough fight so lets just give in without one.
Most people I've spoken to feel the same disappointment as I do about the way the FAAA has handled this. We pay them a lot of money every year and when we really need them it seems as if they forget whom they represent.
