.....Because it's pointless (from their point of view) going to someone responsible...


nomdeplume whenever an aviation-related story crops up, Dutch media interview the chairman of the VNV (Dutch Balpa). His views are sought by the media and respected by the general public.

His predecessor was even something of a celebrity due to his frequent appearnces on the idiot box. These blokes do the cause of aviation a lot of good, because they are well spoken, able to give just the right mix of level-headedness & techno-talk made understandable.
They are not condescending, but invite the viewers and listeners to "think along with us" and to come "into our world".

Anyway, it's possible and perhaps Balpa should push itself a bit more??
