Thank you Tim for setting it out so clearly,
if GFA would couch its mission statement in such clear terms

I am quite sure you are on the winning side.

Tim,
As usual you hit the nail on the head J it is about the service.
Problem is that the service levels are inconsistent, some instructor, duty
pilot combinations
treat visitors like VIPs and enjoy showing off their club and our sport,
others do not. Not sure
how you improve this
We might start by getting feedback from students about instructors. The way
it is now, once you get a ticket you are there for as long as you want. Dud

Good thread! Stu, you are right, and you Tim. It is about service, and
meeting the needs of the participants, not the bureaucracy. Respect for the
people who are either ticking off the bucket list, indulging in an experience,
conquering fears, enjoying a tasteror experiment, assessing their

Hi Tim, Your post undoubtedly contains some uncomfortable truths. Under your
proposed business model however there would have been no way for me to get into
gliding and I wonder about others, including yourself. Rgds - Rolf

Hi All
There is a great deal of truth in all the AEF postings. The need for more GFA
funds, largely due to a lack of income resulting from a decline in membership -
the ability to pay by mostly near city clubs who have a large customer base
willing to pay for an adventure type flight - the
Good morning all,
I thought the thread might be interesting reading. Trouble is that both sides
are right to a point and you just gotta love frank discussion!!! On one hand
there are the people who remember how it was and the other, people who are in

I went to the Bundaberg Airshow show (which was excellent) and was

Hi Peter,
Did you see our stand? We had my Twin Astir and the simulator there.
The display was supposed to be Nigel in his Fox I think. We didn't organise
it. Not sure what happened there as to why they didn't turn up. Maybe to

Annual SSA dues are currently less than 25% of GFA dues, but it would have
been about 50% if the US dollar was worth the paper it's printed on.
