Let me answer by saying there are things they could be doing much better. I’ve been on record saying so.

My point is simply that:

A) The hobby itself is under fire, regardless of the AMA. And although it might not make a lick of difference, some unity across the board certainly couldn’t hurt. Let’s save fixing the AMA for another day, because without a hobby to represent, really what’s the point?

B) Much of the failings being attributed to the AMA are beyond the ability of any CBO to fight, especially when one is dealing with agencies and an administration that only listen to who they want to listen to. It could be AMA, SFA, PMA, etc. Does anyone REALLY think other groups would have any more success with FAA/DHS/DOJ/etc?
