Aero-News: Quote of the Day
ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives
from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out
of history that have a bearing on the day's events and
issues.
Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the
content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be
thought-provoking.
Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if
particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become
future Quotes of the Day.
Let us hear from you, folks!
Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Ultimately, NAFI's attempts to subvert and exercise
control over the [Master Instructor] program and associated
[intellectual property] will fail. Even in the highly unlikely
event that NAFI succeeds against the Hills, the IP of other
contributors has not been secured by NAFI. This will invariably
prevent NAFI from continuing its current campaign, or at least it
could become the subject of an intractable legal dispute-causing
further (if not fatal) hemorrhaging of NAFI resources and good
will."
Source: TBO-NAFI organizer Rich Stowell, in an
editorial regarding recent developments at the National Association
of Flight Instructors. The group claims that EAA and others within
the aviation industry -- including NAFI -- are on a
'self-destructive path.' At issue, TBO-NAFI claims the absence of
member participation; a lack of transparency in the NAFI's Board
selection process, governance, administration, and financial
management; and mismanagement of the flagship Master Instructor
program.
