Put PC where the sun don’t shine.
No names, no pack drill but I had a coffee and a ‘chat’ with a couple of people ‘in the know’ and directly concerned with the latest round of pushing and shoving going on between some of the alphabet groups. Sandy can jump up and down all he likes about being ‘PC’ and ambivalent toward the children squabbling; but not I.
Those who know – exactly – what has been attempted and from whom the edicts have flowed need no explanation from me; they were there, read the letters and took part in the ruckus.
It is a disgusting tale, one of serious concern; alas, not mine to tell. I can however say that it has been and remains detrimental and divisive. Not only undermining solidarity, but it also casts an ugly shadow across the entire spectrum of non airline operations. When a bunch of ‘fly-for-fun’ folks can be cynically used to this purpose, it’s time to take the gloves off. The AOPA represents ‘aircraft owners and pilots’, which includes ‘commercial’ operations and operators. It is these folk who will suffer the most from the latest vicious, vindictive, cynical manipulation, to the detriment of the larger GA operations. It is nuts, this performance at a critical time when there should be solidarity on the ‘big ticket’ items and not providing a nice fat buffer for the minister to hide behind. Think on. They should be named, shamed, dragged out in public and lambasted – not within my remit; but I wish it were. Oh, how I wish it were.
