I am now in a position to fill you in a little more on the way ahead in the matter of Helicopter Industry Representation.
Rosemarie McRae has accepted work elsewhere and as a consequence of her new work commitments, has resigned from the AOPA Directorship. I have accepted the position of Director of the Helicopter Committee within AOPA.
The Board of AOPA have expressed a very keen and enthusiastic desire to form and support a committee within their own organisation specifically designed to address the issues confronting the helicopter fraternity. Understandably, a lot of those issues are not unique to us but are common with all other airspace users and where overlap occurs, AOPA will address these issues in a manner they consider best suits the circumstances.
AOPA is prepared to put their money where their mouth is and they have made an outstanding offer to all Helicopter Industry personnel who may be interested in joining.
Go to the following link: AOPA Australia Online (http://www.aopa.com.au/) to learn more about AOPA and the many services they provide/offer.
If you are interested in joining, send an email to [email protected] with your name and address and include 'HELO TRIAL" in the subject heading and AOPA will send you a couple of their magazines and a FREE MEMBERSHIP for 3 months WITH NO OBLIGATION TO JOIN if you don't like what you see!
I invite anyone with Industry concerns to PM me anytime to discuss anything concerning Helicopter Aviation issues that might need addressing, though I do remind people that AOPA and myself cannot become involved with commercial, personal or private matters.

Update on AOPA initiative:

AOPA is now offering ALL Helicopter fraternity personnel four (4) months FREE trial membership to AOPA as per the instructions of the previous post. Unless instructed otherwise, on completion of the Trial Period, AOPA will activate the full twelve month membership commencing from the expiry date of the Trial Period, so the offer truly is 4 months free trial membership. I personally think this offer is quite remarkable and certainly worthy of consideration by everyone involved in the helicopter industry and I encourage everyone to seriously consider the implications of not having the proper Industry Representation in these sometimes difficult times.

Everyone has a whinge that there is no industry representation and as soon as someone sticks up there hand to have a go some one takes a pot shot at them. Good luck Aerowasp, your going to need it.
I have to say it is a privilage to work in the Ag industry because we have first class industry representation in the AAAA.
