PS: How many threads about IMC ratings should be on the go at the same time?

FA keeps on about all the "discussion" he's been promoting, hasn't he realised it is the same 5 people yet?
Maybe he's the pink aviator of 2007 - the same few people continually commenting on [a] thread(s), and he thinks it's popular Rustle

Have a look at the petition and see how many names there are already.
I wonder how those names got there - eh.

Perhaps they read about it here first?

Do you listen to Question Time - Do you actively take part?

May I also remind you that you pointed out that we dont do anything - well, at least we are trying - a bit of support might be useful?

Finally, since only a few are reading it, I wouldnt worry about my comments regarding AOPA if I were you - I dont suppose anyone is taking the slightest bit of notice.

Minimum Descent Heights (MDHs) allowed for instrument approaches as well as minimum horizontal visibility distances are much more restricted than they are for IR qualified pilots.
This bit isn't true - the first bit of it - either, as we have discussed to death on here many times. (I wonder if it was intended to be but they c@cked up the wording of the ANO? )

I see some moron has joined up as Basil Brush.

I suppose an IQ of zero does not disqualify people from typing on a keyboard.

If you give enough monkeys keyboards, one of them will write Shakespeare. If you hand out less keyboards, you'll only get one of them to sign a petition....

It is slightly sad to see the bogus names on the petition, presumably added by someone a bit simple who thinks it's funny

On a more positive note almost 200 genuine people have signed up in just over three days - so we're headed in the right direction!

There are likely to be 2000-4000 non-expired IMCR holders in the UK.
