Well, I see the usual suspects have been using a lot of smoke and mirrors as per their normal SOP to divert the discussion. It seems only the Kid has kept the topic in his sites...

Just to clarify a bit... as it pertains to insurance...that is; pilots liability insurance...which is the basis often cited for not allowing modelers other than AMA to fly at a club fields... Why do we allow some pilots with a non-guarateed or no otherwise apparent insurance pilot's liability insurance fly at our events but exclude those that we say we are trying to promote???


Should we;

A: change current policy to include commercial interests by specifically naming sponsored pilots and/or model aviation business's flying employees even if at a substantial increase to our premiums?

(this way we would rectify the double standard as applied and still be able to effectively exclude those that we always have) or;

B: change AMA's policy in regards member's liability insurance... Make it a separate...separable benefit that is purely elective and install clear verbiage indicating club's and land owner's are covered regardless of pilot's insurances thereby making all these type of contentious discussions moot?

C: some other real idea?


Now, if responders wish to only to side track this discussion or play the usual cover up in the name of AMA, I ask please don't... And it should go without saying, if you can't see the double standard we are discussing here, you certainly can't add anything positive to this discussion either...
