No one will ever represent GA in Australia

Let's have a quick look at GA

Perhaps someone doing well? Nope, those doing well are doing well and think they need no representation.

Perhaps someone struggling? Nope, those struggling are cutting corners and are worried about the regulator looking too hard.

Perhaps the private owners? Nope, these guys go flying, bitch about maintenance costs and are busy doing other things to have the bucks to be an aeroplane owner.

Perhaps the students and private pilots? Nope, they lack understanding and would have no credability in an experience defined industry.

And if you chuck all four groups in one single room no consensus is ever obtained. Poor fellow is GA, unrepresented, dysfunctional and a dissapearing thing. Those with any years amongst us can be heard murmuring "we have seen the best it will ever be pass".
