So, let me see if I have this straight, ANYONE that's not a member of MAAC or AMA member is lower than dirt? So, what about MAAC and AMA members that break the rules? ARE THEY EXEMPT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MEMBERS? As I see it:
  • the guy in the first story should have gotten jail time, in addition to the $2750 in fines.
  • the second guy should have been fined considerably more and jail time, even though it was a one off deal since he was over a hospital and a helipad with active air ambulances in the vicinity
  • the third guy got what he should have.
What isn't mentioned is if they were MAAC members or not. Without knowing that little tidbit of information, your post loses all credibility because, if they are/were, it shows they are no better than the AMA members that don't follow the safety code or non-members that fly where ever and when ever, just because they can
