Fuji, none of us here (so far as I know) are involved with the BGA other than as members through our clubs.
Why then bother to me members of the BGA?
How can you so passionately defend the staus quo on the one hand and yet be so dispassionate about doing anything about it.
I have to agree with Englishal, it is looking more like one excuse after another.
Anyway I give up.
You have certainly lost one supporter of your hobby in me, if your views are really representative of the rest of you.
I certainly will not be shedding a tear when EASA come down very heavily. I hope you are as passionate about staying well away from clouds for reasons of insurance and apathy given that legally you are banned from being in them or near them.
I also hope you will at least have the compassion to shed a tear for the pilot in the next aircraft you run into whilst wringing your hands that if only you could have done something about it of course you would.
Good luck!
Final, final word - the next time I go up in a glider at least you can be certain it will only be if it IS fitted with a transponder.
