Horse power v Pony Pooh.
Or, political grunt if you prefer; either way if you want to move or change anything you need to satisfy Newton's basic laws.
Only my opinion, but it seems to me that there are too many small 'groups' trying, individually to change the motion and direction of a much larger group; i.e. the CASA.
Hitch is banging on about a 'new' group being cobbled together to try and save 'flight training' - HERE -. Then Morgan wants to self promote to a Senator's gig - to change the status quo; then all the other insignificant tribes are pulling and pushing their own agenda. Its akin to herding cats.
Size does matter when it comes to applied Newton. Rather than getting into politics or starting yet another ineffective, independent 'group' IMO its time to 'gang up'. Can you imagine the impact of one voice speaking for all, from engineering, through training, agriculture, charter, regional RPT, uncle Tom Cobley and all; speaking as one.
That would have some weight; can you imagine the chagrin at CASA when the entire GA industry said 'enough - this stops now' and back it up, with serious numbers.
Divided and splintered, each pushing it's own small wheel barrow, the GA (light and heavy) haven't got a prayer of achieving real reform; history, the facts and science back this up - undeniably.
Form one large, united, serious body, stop pissing about, get an agenda and list of demands sorted out; take 'divide and conquer' out of the game. You could also dump a load of ego and personal promotion at the same time.
Just my opinion and notions; could it be done? Yes; it can, only industry is preventing it from happening, no one else...
