But! The AMA will not want this because of all the revenue they will lose.. So they will continue to support the Virus that will kill this hobby. And long after the ashes have settled.. the dust will once again be stured up by another idiot Drone pilot because they have no rules to follow..or at least they dont give a crap about rules, thats for sure!
Actually that is already happening...and being looked into by one of the largest "drone" companies out there. But what's the rush right, they already have members who are part of the AMA and are advocating for them already. It's ironic I suppose. But don't expect anything on this front too soon. Those that have been screaming about doing away with the AMA and starting another org have been going on and on about this for years. Last time it was attempted was about 25 years ago. Abject failure. Those actually looking into doing that though will quickly realize it's a heck of a lot easier to just say it....then actually do it. I applaud anyone who can do it though, I'll be johnny on the stop if the coverages and benefits of the AMA are matched and the membership rate is cheaper!
