Based on the data in your post below, GQ is to be commended on many of
these initiatives. Are the other States moving towards a similar arrangement?
Now, from GQ's experience with your Item 4, can you advise why the GFA
Board should not be directly elected from the membership? I
Hi all,
Speaking only as a pilot (and I can now, since I no longer have a
position on NCC) it puzzles me about what the difference is, except for
putting wave and cloud flying out of play.

You've nicely made my point. You are too close to the problem, you
operate quite happily within the GFA system and as far as I can see
the changes you want relate to administrative procedures inside the
current system. BTW when I hear management buzzwords like world's

Hi Folks,
OAMPS has provided a new GFA Insurances summary, which has been posted

Firstly a great big thank you to Gerrit, for his insight into the start
procedure dilemma - if it isn't broken, why fix it?
Tim, I agree completely that there is no issue with putting wave and cloud
flying out of play, despite the fact that gaining advantage from using such
techniques is

Hi All,
A little bit of time has passed since BT first raised this issue, and we now
have substantially more input. Ross's post sheds some light on the current

Ross,
You still haven't answered my question. Why was this rule change initiated and

I am looking for all your thoughts of what is needed.
