Concur. It's a pattern of behavior out of Muncie, misrepresenting information to protect the image of AMA. Remember how mid year all the membership numbers were nothing but roses, fairy dust, and unicorns? Less than six months later the "low conversion rate" on all those youth memberships came to light. As did the large movement of seniors to park flier.
Now they lose in Orlando. Lose in PA. AMA's own case has gone nowhere. AMA is complaining that FAA decision makers don't attend meetings (that alone should be sending AMA a huge signal), and AMA has done nothing to move along their case. If their position is so strong, you'd think they'd be trying harder to get it in front of a judge.
