What is going on at 'AOPA Towers'?
Quite a lot, actually. But some activity is 'delicate' in nature at this stage.
In any case, there are meetings of both the AOPA Instructor Committee and the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators' Education and Training Committees in a week or so which will focus on these issues.
At the latter, an EASA person will be present. He should expect very forthright and robust debate.....
I have very little confidence in the 'negotiating power' of our 'UK representatives' in these matters.
How can you voice your outrage?
1. Join AOPA and lobby the CEO. Or rather, add your voice to his existing concern!
2. Join the PFA and do the same.
3. E-mail the CAA and do the same.
4. E-mail your MP and do the same.
5. E-mail the DfT and do the same
It probably isn't the done thing on PPRuNe to reveal private e-mail addresses - but if the UK EASA-apologist doesn't wake his ideas up pretty soon, I shall have no qualms in telling you to whom to write!
