That's just registered pilots, not wives, kids, girlfriends etc.
Okay, that just reinforces my point. 700 to 1100 pilots for up to a week. What about the other 51 weeks in the year? Since "Taj Muncie" has been asked more than once for usage figures and refuses to give then, BY AN REGISTERED AMA MEMBER NO LESS, that tells me that the rest of the year is pretty dead. I see thousands of dollars being wasted every year on a facility that appears to be normally deserted.

Regardless of whatever you 3 or 4 guys ( out of the supposed 1M FAA registered enthusiasts ) find to complain about, I still get what I paid for.
3. If anyone here is being programmed, it's you and Appowner. Every time Franklin creates a new anti AMA thread you two are on it like a couple of cats at a bowl of milk lapping up every drop.
#1 So are you
#2 You're afraid that, if they actually gave you an answer that all the facts and figures Franklin has posted and arguments against the AMA with be proven correct. Or is it you a re just another "sheeple" that will just do as he's told?
#3 Far from it actually. I've gotten in trouble more than once because I didn't fall into a program or, like you, repeat the program's propaganda because that's what the program says is true. I checked and verified the given facts and, if they didn't jive with the program, I would put out what I found instead. As far as Franklin's threads go, you haven't come up with anything that can be verified to prove him wrong, even though he's repeatedly posted links to his sources. I think Michael J. Fox's dialog in this video kind of illustrates my point, starting at about the 2:00 mark:
