What have you personally done towards the FTL issue?
Written to my MP three times, been to see him once, written to my MEP and lobbied the CAA. What have you done?

A few years ago GASCO produced a safety video (yes - in the days of tape!) which they asked GA pilots to buy, due to the cost of producing it. Eventually they issued it as a free DVD because the reality is that nobody will pay for this sort of stuff.

I am not particularly anti IPA nor anti the Gen Sec but I do see a conflict of interest when the guy who invested a huge sum of money in trying to get into film production after ill-health retirement - it would appear none too successfully - decides in his new union job that the perfect medium to get the message across is... film (video).

Did he do it for free? I wouldnt expect him to of course but I just think things should be a bit more transparent.
