And if I'm wrong on the youth memberships having traditionally been free , I'm sure someone will post that up shortly . I just seem to remember good ol Porcia83 (or whatever his name was) using someones mention of youth memberships being free as a weapon against them by taking it out of context . The context was of course that if out of 175 K members only 125K were paying memberships , were were financially only an organization of 125 K members , with the 50 K free (youth) memberships not counting to the annual dues financial total .
So , , , IS this the AMA's first instance of charging youth to fly ?
