After seeing quite substantial price increases over the last 2 years at RACWA, and now the proposal to increase the membership rate from $170 to $250 and still flying old planes that were supposed to have been replaced, I'm not sure I'll be renewing. I don't see why a not for profit charges the same rate or higher rate as for profit companies, the only explanation mismanagement of costs.
I'm now considering joining Curtin Flying Club, at $88 pa membership fee, and a standard hire rate which is cheaper than RACWA's discounted rate its hard to convince myself that I'd be better off staying with RACWA. But the biggest point is that CFC's planes are about 20 years newer than RACWAs!!!!!
