Your attitude may well be a part of the problem Split Flap. The rotary-wing guys seem to have their act pretty much sorted, certainly a damn sight better than the fixed wing community. To suggest that fixing the outstanding issues is a WOFTAM suggests that you believe there is no future for fixed wing GA in NZ at all. It may surprise you that many of us believe otherwise. and will be working towards achieving a betterment for all in whatever manner is within our resources, with our without the support of the industry advocates.

You are correct, I would agree with you, the rotary wing guys have their stuff in one sock. I spent a fair while in fixed wing GA and i'm sorry but I have no hope for that particular part of the industry, there is always a new blue eyed boy every five minutes ready to work for nothing. I wish the case was different but I think it's going to be a long time before anything changes in that department. I guess with rotary by the time you get on a turbine thats petty much the top of the food chain and guys won't stand for any cr@P.
I have been out of GA for a little while now and if you think that there is light at the end of the tunnel then thats cool, all I saw was a guy with a torch bringing me more work

Rung ALPA and got some info. Not a GA driver BTW.
I here Dr. Ropata is making a comeback, might give PPRuNe a run for it's money. Might not.

I've been in GA for quite a few years now and seem to be better off than most of my unhappy airline mates who have ALPA looking after them.
May be I have just had a good run working for good companys but to say GA is stuffed in this country is crap. Most guys who have a bad run I find its often self induced.
It also has a bit to do with what you make of it.
Its not all bad out there!!!
