Problem with any idea, is that you need consensus to implement it - which in itself requires involvement. Catch-22!
IO540: You are correct, it is the perfect syndicate in terms of aircraft availability - but if the bills can't be met due to lack of treasure the aircraft will be available for looking at only! Which I suspect is on the horizon, as it is emerging that not all monthlies are being paid.
Maybe my expectations are too high. Maybe with the better weather everyone will come out of hibernation. Maybe, maybe...
