The familiar plea that no one offers does not wash when the circle is
closed. Here in PHX, we are about to get a major change to our class
B. AOPA is currently more active than SSA in this.

As I would expect it be, since it's a much larger organization. As a
member of both groups, I don't think it's criticism of the SSA that they
aren't as active (I'm taking your word for this, since I am not familiar
with the situation), but a consequence of the size and priorities of the
two groups.

AOPA even had a
spokesman in today's paper. Nothing from SSA although the current
planned changes will severely impact operations at both Turf and
Estrella. I offered, asked, pleaded and got zilch in return--only a
reference that Cindy Bricker "takes care of airspace for us."


Did you contact Cindy? If you haven't, give it a try: she is very
approachable and working hard on SSA business. She isn't the only one
involved in airspace, either, because this is too important for that. A
call to her will likely be informative and useful.
