Default RE: Vote, Tired rates or not?

Rcjon is right on. My club, too would be destroyed by the fractionalization caused by tiered rates.

That's my main concern with the tiered rate concept. I think that many clubs, for many different reasons, would end up REQUIRING their members to hold the top rate card to continue club membership. That kills the concept right there. If a club were to okay membership on 2 levels, I don't think I would like to be a member holding the lower rate card (can you say "Second Class Citizen"?)

In the meantime, most park-flyer flyers remain blissfully unaware of the AMA. This is not surprising since the AMA has made little effort to recruit them and really offers them nothing more than expensive secondary insurance. Rcjon is right - nothing at a reduced cost appeals to noone.
