Some folks hold their AMA number near and dear and wouldn't want to lose it. I think the ama is still pressing the FAA to allow us to use our AMA numbers, don't know where that process is now.

Exactly , the one number covers all , that was my idea . I do understand that guys with a sentimental attachment to their number wouldn't do it , and yea waiting to see if during this kinda new process the FAA would accept an AMA number then I could see waiting it out . I do have a 5 digit number which I guess would be coveted but one good look at me would tell ya I've been around the planes for a while* . I never did put my number on any plane with non removable materials so I can basically just peel & stick them at will so for me a number change wouldn't be too much trouble at all .

The rubber alone is a science in itself !
* anyone who can show ya a picture of one of these on his run up stand has been around at least somewhat of a while
