The sticker idea is good but it won't work as every one I know in GA is too busy fighting amongst them selves.
Charter has forever changed. The day when a Sydney Melbourne airfare became $69 and the airlines actually started to operate better and more customer friendly services was the death knell for a lot of GA charter.
A good example is Coffs Harbour, now extremely well serviced. In the late 80's and earlier 90's we use to operate a C550 and would get charters to Coffs Harbour and Coolangatta regularly: now probably very little goes into Coffs as a charter.
The except to this are companies like Wingaway. Here the state government has centralised medical services to Sydney and these type of GA companies benefit.
Take the Aerial Survey business, remote Cherokee Warrier size drone will and are taking over what was a very good employer of GA.
Even in my own field, Air Cruising product it has become very difficult. The reason simply older people are now travelling to Europe and doing a Rhine cruise for around $6000 all up.
Put simply it is change, like an electric typewriter was replace with a lap top so too our industry is under going a metaporphos.
There is no answer, simply those of us that are left in the Industry need to be more business savvy, adapt to the changes, and create new opportunities.
A perfect example is the Skydiving company that went public a well run market driven company that seems to be profitable.
Aerodromes such as Bankstown suffer, partly due to ownership, but also due to those left having total apathy to each other.
A perfect idea would be to hold an open day Air Show where every business supports the idea. It could be run by one of the local Rotary Clubs for the benefit of local charities and give each business some exposure.
But it will never happen.
