lookleft, "The industry groups" that exist have failed and continue to fail. They have had 15 years to gain traction and they have been utterly unsuccessful. They all seem to implode due to the aforesaid pilot ego problem or lately, they get bought off by CASA with the prospect of an authorization from CASA to administer the very rules that destroy their membership in return for a stable cash flow extorted from the same members.
Answer me this; after 15 years, aren't we entitled to conclude that the "sweet reason" approach as implemented by the associations is an abject failure?
If the answer is "yes" then it is time to pressure CASA's masters - our elected representatives no less, for change.
You still deliberately fail to understand the concept of negative campaigning - it's not about pilots voting out incumbents, it's convincing the wider electorate to do it for us. It's called "leverage".
Oh! And P.S. look at the antics of some of the
pr!cks you are defending:
