What is "wise" for you does not determine what is "wise" from other perspectives. And there, numbers matter, as there's 800,000 non-CBO members and less than 120,000 paying CBO members. While some effort needs to be made to balance desires of the minority, they are in fact the minority. And the majority has desires as well. AMA is not arguing at all for the 800,000 non-members, expect to call them "rogues," ask the FAA to prosecute them, and/or force them to tithe money to AMA as a sign of fealty to "Taj-Muncie."
I will advocate for those 800,000, in the hopes of helping the FAA understand the legal and policy flaws with the FRIA concept as written.
