Tiger, its not controversial! Just remember that you are throwing your views at Professional Pilots with years of flying experience, even in the Private Pilot forum.
The CAA is an attractive topic for the start of a sensitive argument.
But lets base any anger on our experiences, if we havent flown before, it isnt cool to slag them off on the basis of a magazine article.
Yes we need the CAA`s help, but they need our help too.
Im not sure what the way forward is, AOPA seem more into offering help with insurance and technical issues, for owners and operators. If im wrong here than they need to change there marketing strategy as all the literature I have on them seems to be for people that own or operate there own aircraft. We need a body that is specific to GA and an interface between GA pilots and the CAA. Construcive and official meetings, to adress our issues on a National level.
Any suggestions?
If this warrants a new topic mr moderator then lets do it!!
Gotta go, Paris Orly you know.........
Kind Regards.
