Time is running out...the AOA needs to be a strong voice pilots can trust or I know there will be an exodus of members this fall. If that happens, then they might as well disband.
Perfect time to start up a pilots association for all the B scalers who don't get a voice. The AOA will remain as it is important to the A scalers and they can retain the complete control they always have had and pay scant regard to B scale issues. The last 3 cents of the budget they saved specially for an amusing look at B scale issues can also be ploughed into getting age 65 through. The ship can sail straight on ahead as it always has done.
