To those that have enterd the debate thanks. The intent was purely to spell out wht the organisation is. I note the negative comments from those with an axe to grind can I ask you whether this helps trying to ensure that ALL PROFESSIONAL PILOTS are covered?
To be specific does slagging at me change the direction needed to have all pilots in one body?
I have never denied history or my involvement in the events of the past. There were no winners out of it.
The Federation survived because of a need to ensure that pilots have some coverage in a pilot body in the future as your predecessors left you after some heavy battles.
Ultimately it will be the pilots that determine the future not me. What I encourage is those who want to be destructive and devisive is work within the current structures rather than destroy your predecessors good work from when the body was initially formed in 1938 till now.
