I've been following this whole issue with interest and agree with the need for united action. However a large (read most of) majority of GA and regional pilots do not live near a major city where you have the meeting.
Surely in this era of Skype etc it would be possible to set up a internet feed of the meeting so we could attend it and support it without having to be bodily represented!
All the guys in the NW of WA, Arnehm land, FNQ, Red Centre (Perth, Darwin, Adelaide)etc could attend and feel included and would be a fantastic boost to the issues we are trying to raise.
Over to someone clever on the computer...
