I notice a number of people have simplified the present situation, which should be of concern to members paying a substantial fee (by comparison with many other organizations), by picking on the messenger, Cloudsuck.But what happens to efficiency and cost when 8000 pilots have to phone up RAA a few days before their licence expiry to find out where it is. Better to fix the admin problem in the first place.

I don't really think that anyone was picking on cloudsuck Directly just his comments as to who's fault it is if your licence expires because he did not receive a renewal. And I can't understand why 8000 pilots would phone RAA to see where the renewal is. You don't need a renewal to pay your licence. My wife paid mine with BPay and used my licence no and name for a reference and my new licence came in the mail.

A friend of mine sent in a cheque two weeks before it was due and his licence came in the mail. it isn't rocket science Just pay it before the expiry date.

You can also ring and give credit card details over the phone.

If I personally have given the impression that I was picking on Cloudsusk then I do apologize that was not my intention. I was just commenting and giving my opinion on comments posted on a public forum.

Monty

I'm with you Tomo,

Wats dat? We got 2.5mm the other night acording to the weather site. But the dust didn't know we got it.

Monty

Good on ya with the Wife mate! I have to agree with my fellow aviators concentrate on the flying for now and decide on the aircraft later. You will have a better idea what is for you then. Keep us informed how it is going. And buy the Wife a big box of chocolates.

QUOTE;From Cloudsuck

"You are missing the point"

"This is not an administrative error, it is incompetence"

"Why do people on this forum accept this kind of poor administration"

A bit of a contradiction

Yes!! I think the point is being missed. Not by me though

Yes!! it is NOT a postage error and never was

It is about one's own responsibility not RAAust

I will agree to disagree!!

Monty

Dave not a very long way to go,

It will fly past. No pun intended.
