Sorry, I can't buy into the sudden hysteria that this is some black eye for the AMA. This is just another in a long line of criticisms laid at the feet of the AMA. As if they had someone at this field, watching this happen, and approving it. As if they have the ability to bee all knowing and all seeing? C'mon, be realistic. Even the fact that it was brought to the attention of the AMA and actions taken isn't enough. It's still a "black eye"

Astro as you visit all these fields and noticed the higher than average rate of rule violation by the club officers, what have you done about it? Have you spoken up as an AMA cardmember? Are you somehow equally responsible for not speaking up. Are these clubs suddenly a black eye for the AMA as well? If you feel that way because of this video it should hold true for all other similar instances of rules violation you see in person?

There is no magic or mystery to what BH or I said...it comes down to making every member of the club responsible for safety. If it means some folks will get bent out of shape when they are told of infractions, too bad. If they are mature, they will accept it. If not, they will deal with an administrative process put into place for FAIRNESS...not knee jerk reactionary measures. Case by Case, fact based, outcome based. Obviously message delivery important, but the takeaway still needs to be that we are a self policing club, and hobby. It has worked very well for 80 years and will continue to, and along the way some policies and procedures will change. One or two folks here want a safety utopia at all costs, and that's just not going to happen.

The attempt to rope in the MR/Drone separations is a non issue, it has nothing to do with this video, just another attempt to throw a negative light on them. As is the dig at the AMA for "paying" to attract members....the anti ama sentiment runs deep, all issues lead back to them.
