But Mike, you're living proof of the fact that you -do- have the
*option* of a state-issued license to fly gliders. So isn't the GFA's
position on that issue somewhat irrelevant?
You and several others have provided proof by demonstration of the
fact that there are two ways to legally fly gliders in Australia.
One can either join the GFA, follow the GFA MOSP and operational
regulations, and operate as a GFA member; Or one can go the GA
route and get a PPL with a glider endorsement, GA airworthiness
requirements, and so on.
So we all know there are at least two choices.
A handful of people choose your way; A larger group of people choose
the GFA way.
In your view, what impediments is the GFA raising to prevent people
who dislike the GFA from following the same path you've followed?
Is there an actual problem here?
