Never asked? You’re joking right? The language of 336 was so precise that to argue that AMA didn’t write it virtually word for word is taking me and many others for fools. We’ll never know what AMA...

Are we now tolerating stereotyping in these forums? "neck bearded jackwagon with a third grade eduction" is downright offensive. My grandfather never got past the third grade, and you've just...

The AMA could have spent considerably more on lobbying than they did ... which we have to acknowledge was a CONSCIOUS decision of the EC. The CONSCIOUSLY decided to keep losing money on the magazines...

Good points. I missed that in the NPRM. Since their non-compliant option depended on FRIAs, and those might run into problems based on forced association and/or OMB challenge due to cost, will they...

Yet again we see why AMA is losing members - note the arrogant and pejorative use of “cardboard electric” to describe what many fly quite happily. And without need to tithe to AMA.

I have two within 100 yards of my house. A local park and a local school. That was my whole point ... with stuff that FliteTest encourages you to fly, you don't NEED to tithe to AMA HQ nor tithe to...

Actually, it's even lower. In April MA, CFO puts the actual paying members at about 110,000. Rich's numbers are pure fantasy. As if saying it makes it true. Unfortunately, those at FAA can figure...
