"Pacific Flyer contacted the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association which
claims to represent 60% of the 600,000 pilots in the country to inform them
of the situation and to see what action, if any, they planned to take.

Chris Dancy, their new media relations director, said a stern letter would
be sent to the council warning them of the 90% repayment rule, plus the fact
that they signed an agreement with the FAA to keep the airport open forever.
Although we were promised a copy of the letter, we never received it and do
not know if it was ever sent."
