I do have to wonder what would have happened though. Certainly a competitor would have arisen, probably at a cheaper price, to offer nothing but insurance and a set of rules to follow. For all we know, that might have spurred the kind of streamlining in the AMA that many have called for. I guess we'll never know.
jester... they went exactly that far. If you red the Hill article it is titled: Punish rogue recreational drone pilots - not the rule followers.
In the article Hanson made it clear that the position of the AMA was, you are a member or you fly under a part 107 license. Anyone without the 107 who is not an AMA member (you know, those "rogues" who fly safely over their own property and such) needs to be prosecuted under part 107 rules for flying without a license.
