Just get it sorted...
It seems the time has come (as the walrus said) for the AOPA board to get a handle on and manage 'affairs' at the AOPA – financial, corporate governance and issuing clear directives to the CEO of how the organisation intends to not only 'advocate' on behalf of the members – those remaining – but as to how the current situation can be reversed to allow AOPA to be represented in all things pertaining to 'matters aeronautical' those which directly and indirectly affect not only the financial membership, but the GA industry at large.
There is a very simple question the AOPA board need to answer – just one, It is a question I ask myself; do I want to join AOPA? The short answer is NO. Then why not - ? The answer is twofold – one is APOA are skating on very thin corporate legal and financial ice; ice which has not been acknowledged. Two, do the Morgan antics, bombast and arrogance reflect my views or those of 'qualified' pilots (he's not by the way) , operators domestic or overseas; or even vaguely reflect the stellar examples of how the OS AOPA operate to achieve meaningful change. I think not.
Can the AOPA Australia board point toward one significant change the Morgan bluff, bluster and bull-shit has produced? Can the AOPA board publish their directions on the 'ways and means' by which Morgan was 'requested and required' to execute, in pursuit of serious easement of the regulatory straight jacket. Yes; then – let's see it. No -then what the hell is the AOPA board playing at?
Should the AOPA board ever wonder why the membership is dwindling; consider the corporate and financial risks they are taking – then a quick study, minus the 'blinkers' would show that they are being talked into an oblivion from which any form of recovery of previously respected, invited to discussion, able to influence change status is not going to happen. Sack Morgan; sort out the corporate stuff and start to perform design function. You know I'm right as you are fully aware that the organisation is well on the way to becoming an insignificant pariah; kept outside of the doorways to being part of any sensible reform and curtailment of the lost in rhetoric, rudderless CASA.
