Priorities;
There is a conundrum.
Pilot Unions would argue over the fact that AOPA originally stood for aircraft owners and their pilots. More recently after having lost the majority of the owner group, possibly and probably as a consequence of "CASAGATE" they now need the pilot group which are divided around the numerous Unions and other alphabet soup mobs. Although the AOPA spokesman does assert they represent of all GA?
To be fair, they did attempt to support entry level pilots to the system, but once the students were out of the melting pot they, (the students), went their own predictable way.
Too many fish and chip shops in the same street now catering for some 20,000 Aussie pilots.
