Come on Jack, RAAus is now only kept alive by life support, turn the life support off and start again.
Not a whisper to the members from RAAus — only what we are hearing is from the press, hence there is a case of hiding facts and responsibilities.
I can remember clearly a few years ago there was so much noise regarding poor management of RAAus and how useless the board was…..things were pretty good them BUT now this current mob of managers have let this dilemma get to the point of destruction for RAAus. So we all can sit back and watch the show go broke and disintegrate. The other issue this current gang is out and about closing schools so how will flying expand with no schools.
I am completely befuddled as to the modus operandi, just where is the expansion. The training and theory is getting to be a replica of the GA schools.
The exact reason why AUF was set up, all has all gone only the memories are left.
The little rag and strings are basically history. There are still people about who wish to fly and enjoy these little machines.
Mention 2Stroke now one gets blank stares.
Wondering if anyone has heard what is going on?
The grape vine has been a bit busy.
Jill Bailey has resigned.
The CEO has resigned and one of the office staff has taken on the roll.
Not sure however someone else could have heard something.
Hmmmmmmmmm....Pushing the compliance and enforcement component will greatly increase the "Catch Me if You Can" factor.
Comes down to simple marketing strategy , One is better off being friends and offering -- than getting out there with a big stick.
Didn't you hear the dogs barking?
All that noise would have told you something...as I have moved on am not that overly bothered any more nearly all has slipped my mind. Why linger on shoddy outcomes plenty of other great things to achieve.
However the clear judgement I made at the time will stay with me.
KP.
I beg to differ regarding the RAA members voting regarding transferring into a company. I have on good authority from a current board member (at the time) this process was not done honestly and I have to agree with him as he gave me a set of of circumstances which did not indicate honesty.
Oi Turbo,
We pay membership for that, this situation simply put we are getting less for what we pay for.
How would you perform if you went to Woolies and they started giving you a kilo short of what you paid for?

Have a read of that link, see what you think.
Air strips are a service to the region, hence the rates. A better question, how much revenue dose the strip bring to the district and emergency service like flying doctor and during floods and fire.
What are the landing fees for?
We pay tax to have public infrastructures, fuel tax where dose that money go.
So landing fees are a simple case of double taxing.
The government is getting a bit too handy with their taxes.
Just like our income tax a percentage of that tax is supposed to go to an aged pension not any more, not even rescinded.
Simple case of grab at any cost.
The airport was there well before all these do gooders turned up. When they bought there the airport was in full operation.
Hence there before them or the real estate lied o them.
That is all OK...CASA is derelict in duty for signing off before all the requirements are not address and compliant.
The manuals must be compliant as a requirement of gaining Part 149. How will the process stack up in an audit?
If there is any other process -- could be a case of supposed non compliance.
