An Industry Lobby Group
One of the things I can see that lacks in this country's aviation circles is a body that effectively represents industry to CASA and government.
In a nutshell it should.
a. represent all sectors of the aviation community, business owners, pilots, engineers.
b. be non political
c. not be interested in union issues (trying to represent both owners and pilots/engineers here)
d. have an effective voice to CASA, media and the Minister
It could also have a secondary role in sharing information.
The whole idea is to have a body that would reflect the interests of everyone from the Flying School owner, to the owner GA charter operator, to the small regional airline and all the aforementioned's employees.
This would ensure that the regulator and minister hear a loud and united voice. Similar organisations overseas seem to get results, we can do the same here....
