Sounds good... HOW do we get congress to ask us "what do we need to do to fix this," ??? Do we wait? Do we act?
I think the whole point of my post was answering this question. I'll dumb it down: Get the constituents pissed off so that they flood their representatives and the FAA with concern. How? Go read the post again.
The same old schtick? When has increased pilot participation been the same ol song and dance. It has never been. That is the problem. As a group we accept the status quo. The professional pilot culture is apathy and cynicism.
No, the same old schtick refers to your one-man campaign on FI calling for more pilot participation. I will agree that it has never been tried. I also don't think that it ever will be tried, despite your best efforts to convince us all of the merit. The question I'm trying to get you to consider is this: given the current level of pilot participation and lobbying dollars, how can we best apply that to enact real reform?
I threw out an idea about trying to educate the public with the goal of creating a groundswell. I don't think it's been tried, and I think in today's internet society, we have to adapt and evolve. I was hoping you'd comment on that, instead of going back to your usual playbook. Does it hurt much banging your head up against that wall?
