Its been obvious for many years that there needs to be well directed investment in renewing the nations G.A fleet.
Government departments and private enterprise systematically screwing down GA operators have had their part in shaping the industry into what it is today.
However that being said what's stopping operators from getting together and actively standing up for, and working towards a better future ?
Where was AFAP or AOPA today reassuring the traveling public and dismissing the ridiculous comments aired by the media ?
If this was a road transport accident the transport workers union would be defending those involved from trial by media.
You so called captains of the industry need to pull your head in and understand
that without a united stance you'll achieve nothing.
