Three years ago we set up the Professional Flying Instructors Association to assist instructors with all sorts of issues including legal, insurance, employment etc. We have regular meetings and invite speakers from CAA and other parts of the industry, usually held at Shoreham Airport. So far, although we have a successful regional group in the South, trying to get a group going in the North has proved more difficult. We are also trying to get a group started in the Cranfield/Coventry region.
We are hoping to get a website launched shortly and recently did a test run on a magazine, but it is hard to do all of this with a volunteer committee of one (plus various cooptees for projects) and minimal funding. The will is there, but more members are needed and more people willing to help. One of the members posted on this subject a couple of years back, but publicity is in short supply. So any volunteers or potential members (£10 per year to join) send me a PM.

Dancing with the devil, going with the flow... it's all a game to me.

Lady In Red,
Sounds super, but your post does not fill me with enthusiasm! I could chuck you a tenner but where's that gonna go exactly? First and foremost is the requirement for transparency. Then we may might forward....
