I have been asked to write a reply in here by a group of fellow Pilots. They are currently in the final stages of creating a new Association for Pilots in Europe.
The Association is to be for all groups of aviation within Europe and will primarily work on allowing Pilots to have a greater say in the various issues that has lately been coming from EASA/JAA/CAA and so forth.
No matter if it is the Private Pilot, Biz-jet Pilot or Airline Pilot, they feel that we all as pilot's has the right to be heard, and not just be put on the sideline which can be seen in this thread yet again has happened.
There currently are only a few organizations/groups in Europe working all the issues that has come up in the past years, but they feel that more can be done.
Issues as we seen just within the past year like Duty-time limitations to increase together with several others just can not go on without a fight.
So they would like me to post this here and try to see if others feel the same way and if they can find support from fellow Pilots who would be interested to Join once everything is finalized. It is of-cause FREE.
Currently the last few steps to be completed are the finalizing of the website/logo a a few other items that will all be completed within a short time.
Once everything is ready they will like to welcome all fellow pilots interested to join as free members and have a say in the general outline of the issues that we feel must be pushed. Together with creating a Board of Pilots who will take the lead in talking to the various Aviation and Government bodies throughout Europe.
Thanks
