I’m sorry to say that I have a rather different view and find it a bit much the claim that its the key representative for GA. How many members or official AFAP reps were found at the seminal AOPA meetings at Tamworth? Or Wagga? How many have actually run GA businesses?
I certainly remember when CASA started to really get a stranglehold on GA with it’s great paperwork avalanche and the fee gouging commenced in earnest. I wondered why AFAP did not enter the fray on behalf of GA and was given to understand, in no uncertain terms, that that they were a cut above and happily sitting high on their wallets and I’m ok Jack.
I’d love to be corrected but cannot remember the AFAP being involved in any meaningful way or strongly influencing Government to reform or slow the disastrous trajectory of the CASA juggernaut as it squashed GA. Some mitigation and apologies to a number of ATPL individuals who have given great service to GA.
Nevertheless I look forward to any support, and everyone deserves a second chance.
