You want to save the IMCR then go ahead and do it. You are on your own.
It would seem not.
I regret you think I have it in for AOPA - actually I say again I dont.
There would have been two outcomes to all this:
1. Lets leave it to AOPA
2. We had better do something about it ourselves, so that together with AOPA, the PPL IR, the GA Alliance and a few others we get what we want.
We already have links in place on our web site to all of these organisations, including AOPA - do you think they would be there if I had it in for AOPA for the sake of it.
You are so far involved with AOPA you cant see the wood for the trees.
If you cant or will not read the various forums and the comments here and indeed on AOPAs bulletins boards in which pilots set out what they want from AOPA then you are dangerously close to not understanding your job is to represent and engage with your members.
I promise you I dont make them up. They arent phantoms of my imagination.
I guarantee you I would like nothing more for AOPA to take on board these comments, tell us on their web site what they are doing, why they are doing it and how they are going about it.
