Can anyone tell me why he left the LAA?

My understanding is that Phil left because he was frustrated in not being allowed to get on with his job. Clearly lots of hearsay etc. The LAA is a club which has an elected committee; being an employee of such organisations is a thankless task.

I suspect the salary for LAA chief exec is not great.

In cases like this I always start with introspection that normally sorts the problem out. On the rare occasion I find a difficult meeting with someone of sound character, it in 99% prob my own making.

I had a private chat with him between his resignation and departure, as I was interested in possibly applying and certainly have the experience and qualifications, and am an LAA member with a passion for GA. Phil came across to me as a capable chap who'd done his best whilst in the job.

Clearly I'm not going into details of a private conversation, but I decided not to apply after that talk.
