Nope. As someone who's spent the better part of their life in a high performing / high reliability organization, I have zero tolerance for ineptitude and lack of initiative. In both cases, I saw in first hand. In subsequent actions on other issues, I saw that my experience was not unique. The list is long:
- Attempt to use law to compel membership
- Asking for help establishing flying fields, only to turn down a field over universal access in post 911 world (note 1)
- Continued obfuscation of their true financial status
- Executive compensation growth well above rate of inflation
- Continued growth of staff compensation as percent of total revenue
- Continued losses on magazines, yet no accountability (nobody FIRED)
- INEPT execution of basic staff functions
- INEPT leadership
- Lack of a credible safety management system
- Lack of any accountability for dangerous acts (turbine community comes to mind --- see EC notes from earlier this year)
- Almost deliberate effort by ED and EC to "not see" obvious rule violations right in front of their faces at events
I"m sure there's others, but that's a short list.
