Aero-News Quote of the Day
"We strongly believe that any aviation advocacy rule its actions with an unquestionable degree of transparency so that members and affected parties KNOW just what is happening. We also believe that ANY organization looking to support aviation establish a true sense of trust with its constituency and promise an unprecedented level of honesty... otherwise know as the "No-Bull" rule. We further believe that any such organization devote itself to a TIGHT focus on an agreed and well-defined mission plan that is clear to all concerned. Finally; there is the most controversial issue of all... accountability. Right now, members of most of the aviation organizations have little opportunity to directly contribute and craft the direction and mission of the organizations that they support as members."
