ftrplt If you are a member the details are in the April magazine including voting papers.
Votes close 9 May. AGM 24 May.

If you are not a member, then it would help if you were. AOPA needs all the members it can get right now.

Posting on PP.....Obviously the same people have control of the web site and it seems to be suiting their needs not to have it up and running either!
I believe this is why the main group of members who used the AOPA forum started up their own forum in the interim @ http://www.aimoo.com/agaf "AOPA MEMBERS AREA",
as well as being part of an AOPA members email group too, to keep all communications links open, so we are not kept in the dark on important issues. You could probably be part of the email group if you asked the people at http://www.aimoo.com/agaf to put you on under the AOPA section?

If axiom confuses you, wait until AOPA become an impotent arm of CASA under the new and revitalised team that all on Pprune must vote for or be ridiculed for having any thoughts of their own.

Axiom is a member and stands for,

Hamilton
Murphie
McKeown
Rudd
Bertram
Lawford

Few of these would agree that a cap in hand tap on CASA's door will bring about the reforms promised by the "team AOPA' mob who have hijacked this thread.

Now having said that I await the screaching anthropoids who go off at the mere mention of these names.

Maybe so. I applaud the option, I am registered, but there are no posts there of significance and certainly no discussion. That is what is needed.

Axiom
Thank you for placing your cards on the table. Now that you have blessed us with your views in supporting some of the candidates, of whom I believe only one has contributed on this forum, you may like to tell us why you support those you name?

This will be interesting!

You also say.....
wait until AOPA become an impotent arm of CASA
I humbly suggest that AOPA cannot get more impotent in dealing with just about anyone at this time. So how do you see this salvation working?

Few of these would agree that a cap in hand tap on CASA's door will bring about the reforms promised by the "team AOPA' mob who have hijacked this thread.
I don't recall any instance of this approach being used of late, so don't you think it is at least worth a try? As for this thread being "hijacked"... dear me! you jest of course. It is open to all, just some don't seem to "want" to contribute.

chow!

Coggy;

If there is a "PUTCH" on, one would assume that the "New Turks" should tell us why their mob are better than the old mob.

This new lot have used most of their profile time telling us who to vote for and axiom has decided he doesn't like what he sees so is voting for those not on their ticket.

I couldn't be bothered going back over all the old detail, (just use your back button), to preach to someone who has made up his mind already.

Seems like a waste of time really.

Know any good jokes to break up the monotony?

cogwheel,

Try and get on the AOPA email group that is out there too, as it is quite informative.

Just back from my Easter holiday and had a look at these posts. I agree with Cogwheel - axiom has lost me with his ramblings.
What has happened to axiom? Has he had too many easter eggs?
He has even tried to poach 2 members of "Team AOPA". I wonder if he asked them if they support him.

axiom; (with a small a? You seem like a big 'A')
If you have had enough of this thread, you could go elsewhere. Other threads have jokes for you to 'break up the monotony'. We don't need those jokes: we are still laughing at you.
I can't wait 'til emeus deals with you.
As for "The New Reich": how offensive. Stop your sulking and pull your bottom lip in. Then, come up with some new ideas, and stop recyling others. You haven't had an original idea yet.
Your literary tone has deteriorated considerably, again. Did your spin doctor take an Easter break?

182 man;
As for the 'other' thread, why would anyone go there? There is no need: this is where the action is. That forum has tried to hijack this one. Of course "there are no posts there of significance and certainly no discussion". It's all here.

Lead Balloon;
Right on, Mate!

I thought we already had a research/ technical officer name of Bill Hamilton from memory.
A he does a good job, however why not employ a dedicated person. AOPA lost a lot when JD went, and ASA have gained a lot by having him there. Why not get him back as an employee to support the directors?

Just out of curiousity, and I'm not sh1tting on BH here, but how many times does he inform the rest of the board as to what is going on at CASA/Parliament?

If he stays on he needs professional support.

also.

But then again, what would you expect from a mob of people intent on bringing an individual down at any cost. Great for AOPA!
Have you ever had the question asked of you, if your driving a truck full of soldiers down a hill on a steep road and a kid walks out in front and the brakes fail etc etc etc. Who would you save, the kid or the soldiers?

Who would you save? Hamilton or AOPA?

And bar that, I have no idea what your talking about. Sorry.

Snarek

I support a full time tech officer and researcher. We do NOT need an office manager.
.

No Office manager? are you proposing that a Director can run the office full time, as well as whatever else they may do in their other life? or just have a part timer who sees it as a hobby? We members deserve better.

Dog


Footnote: Lets not forget all the things BH has done in the past for the betterment of General Aviation in this country. He has worked tirelessly for you, the pilot. In his spare time and at great cost to his own personal and professional life. Don't muddy the waters just to get him out. Give him a watch, take him to dinner and thank him and talk of all the good things he did. Then show him the door.

I do understand you gaunty, pity these "flat earth policy" postees don't understand me. PM me if I have put you in a bind and I will see the proposal put forth for the good of AOPA before the AGM (executive decision one would imagine). At least it's at the "IN" box.

Also, you do bandwidth on and I dropped out about the same sentence as Marjorie's address to the Nation. hope you were not preaching to the converted. I will read it later I promise.

As far as giving Bill a gold watch and dinner, I think he would tell you to shove it up your arsk. and I would concur you patronising dipsticks.

Can't wait for the tirade from that evil little wart emues.

Heaven help the day you don't need to complain anymore.

You'd ave nuffink to live for methinks.
You've contributed nothing to this discussion bar sit on your little stool and whine about what everyone else is doing.

Perhaps its time for a nap eh, or maybe you'd like your walking frame for a stroll? I hear it is lovely in WA this time of year.
