Agreed

Never in the history of aviation does GA need to get together and make noise and influence votes. It is a do or die effort. I think however many have already left the run too late........ trust I am wroing!
Couldn't agree more.An old saying that is very true is that 'there are strength in numbers'.
If there is enough push and pressure by the majority then change will be forced,it has been proven over and over throughout history.
Also 'stunting' is a poltical practise which basically involves Governemnt sitting on their hands until forced to act.The Government is aware of the deficiencies in Aviation,and also aware that it is going to take a lot of coin to start fixing the problem,but they will not budge an inch so long as the issue is buried or can be deflected.With enough voice singing the same song they will listen,especially if they perceive a threat to their long term political career if they do not act on behalf of the masses,they fear nothing more than losing their highly prized gravy train.
