Well they certainly are "living high on the hog" considering the lackluster recruitment results of late . Guys like Mike should have gotten their field grant WAY before money was spent flying folks to and from these meetings that could just as easily be accomplished on line .
Somewhere between this picture and what the AMA has become today , I think somethings been lost in the shuffle , and I don't think it's ever coming back . Flying just isn't magic anymore to most folks and I don't think the AMA nor anyone else can do anything about that . Maybe that's why they will continue to spend lavishly on meetings & such rather than the rank & file till the numbers no longer support the excess , they see "the writing on the wall" and will ride that bus right up till the wheels fall off .....
