PUT THE BALL IN THE FAA's COURT TO SAY OTHERWISE!!!!!!
Yup, the AMA would have been better off if they had made such a declaration. The suit will drag on forever and the FAA can do what they want in the meantime. That would include ignoring all of the 30,000+ comments or acting on some or all of them. (except the one that said they had their head up their posterior.)
