So I wrote up the formal proposal for discounts. Heck I even advocated to limit them only for E5 and below (typically those that need them most + not quite as much a revenue hit for AMA).
I know, shocking that this dumb-a** country bumpkin retired US fighter-pilot could figure it out without your in depth education on how to submit a proposal as you detailed above - but I submitted it using the process like you described above. It went to the EC and it passed. And you know what? That was YEARS ago. You know what's happened since then? NOTHING. Repeat NOTHING..
AHHHHH is this along with their refusal to fund your private flying site what has got your knickers in a knot?????? Hell most of the motions I have made didn't go anywhere either didn't bunch my knickers up any. I gave it my best try it didn't work out. By the way it was a recommendation even if it passes doesn't mean it had to implemented. Wasn't it because of the insistence of a discount for all military personal the sticking point? They could not agree so it did not go anywhere? It happens good idea can't come to terms get over it already. Lots of military and ex-military on this forum I don't think many are wringing their hands in sorrow over this.
