Guys,
There is an option now, Good?? Sustainable?? Fair?? Legal?? Its definately for
"individual thinkers and not team players".
Personaly i am quite proud to be a part of an Organization that although
sometimes imperfect, (who isnt) speaks as one voice for our collective rights.
Really if you dont agree with anything the GFA do, the job can be yours (be
prepared for the workload though and real decisions are made by volunteirs).
I do wonder about how that "parallel Path" gets administered though, I am in
licensing now and boy the international requirements are conveluted to say the
least. With cost recovery (see warbirds at the moment) it may be a very
beurocratic and expencive path.
I hate this whole show me your qualls crap out there now, when i see a red card
(ASIC) around a persons neck at a non RPT AP it allerts me to the wanker status
imediately. Worst is he has probably been told by some wannabe he MUST wear it.
Take me back to the 70s, Sir Don actually still had benifits of his vision
hapening.
This is all my personal view and not to be taken as gosphel or any policy, i
get it wrong regularly, its too bloody hard to keep clear.
Its nice to hear other views and expressions though, constructive crytisism may
one day push towards improvements albeit slowly..
In sumary there are a lot of warts on this toad and the toad we have is at
least not poisonous.
Cheers
Mark
P.S I do get payed by CASA, doesnt mean i am CASA, i do regularly see some
really clever dedicated people in there though. and i owe the place a lot, if i
knew then what i know now!!!!
