Hey guys, you dont need to re-invent the wheel. You already have NAAPE which is still active. All you need to do is set up the ARIK chapter and have it recognized. This can be done by a ballot of current pilots and signing on to the National Body. If you did contribute, you need to make sure this was paid into the National Body. If so then all you need to do is demand for your rights. The National president is quite active.
All the best, but note, we are our own best enemies.
