I'm not an EC member, just an AVP/LM

It's not you so much, but this has been hashed and rehashed so many times I'm not going to try to delve into it again.

Really in the end I'm not even sure it matters all that much, endanger the NAS by flying like a fool and causing an incident with a full scale and I don't really think it will matter if you're an AMA member or just an idiot, that person will be hung out to dry.
