Absolutely. Although AMA thinks the FAA will allow them to have individual clubs be accountable to the FAA for the FRIAs, the FAA has to follow the law. And unless each individual club applying for them meet the definition of a CBO under the law, it won't happen. AMA was, once again, too smart by half. Clubs are not CBOs. The AMA is. Which means it will be AMA on the line.

And that's where it ties to the above. The AMA's culture hasn't changed since the Fairview Flyers. They love to write rules in Taj-Muncie but then say "it's up to clubs to enforce them." That is going to be a problem when FAA gets complaints about FRIAs and turns to AMA and says "what are YOU going to do about it?" AMA has no capacity (nor will) to actually hold members accountable. Which was, is, and will continue to be a problem - especially when dealing with FAA.
