And look where that decision-making process has got us. You may well be right in your opinion that a large number of glider pilots in Australia want a pilot's licence in their pocket but that doesn't make it a good idea for the health of gliding. If the enthusiasts have their way, I'll predict that it will drive at least a third and probably more of the current members (for want of a better word) out of the sport within a few years of the RPL coming in. In any case, I stick to my original thought. I prefer rational discussion as a basis for decision-making.
