Nobody has made the claim that GFA is causing all the problems in the gliding land. Some of us are making the claim that GFA is causing all of the problems with GFA rules about the independence of pilots, and that those rules cause some of the problems in gliding land. I reckon evidence “quoting a few individual cases” should be sufficient in a member-driven organization to get those few individual cases dealt with. GFA isn’t a government department or a multinational company: It’s a small org with a mere handful of members, there’s no reason why they can’t be responsive about things like this. Especially given a decade and a half, three redraftings of the independent operator rules, a draft OD about instructorless clubs, and at least two attempts at getting a CASA GPL off the ground: There have been countless opportunities to address these issues, so why is it so hard? A tiny community of overseas competition pilots get their gift-wrapped ICAO license, but it’s sabotaged so that another tiny community of people who want to operate under a license domestically don’t? What’s with that? - mark
