Your right Horatio regarding the AFAP dues, GA pilots do not have an effective lobby group or representative organisation to go into bat for us when it comes to our pay and conditions. What we do have however is PPRUNE it's not much but only some of us follow Paseopimp's lead and make a submission which costs us nothing, hurts no one and requires no more effort than typing a post in here we may be able to affect some change. I'm not sugesting we could get a big change but an extra couple a grand a year would be a nice start..
