The saddest part is that you are one of the very few that took the time to contact members of the EC, including Dave Brown. I was surprised you did not get flamed in the Jet Forum after contacting them. What does it take to make the turbine community realize that their input is important.. and not just on the subject of speed limiters..to Dave as well as the VP's?

JR, it really is not as bad as all of that. DB seems very well adjusted to all of the outcry, in his own words, it is because we are all so passionate about this hobby.....he sees that as very important. I was impressed with the attitude.

As for me, I am sure that there are some that do not agree with what I have said, but I am also sure that those who know me know I am passionate too, and am just trying to keep what we have. Perhaps because I am closer to the business side of the hobby, I might be a bit more keenly aware of how important the AMA is to what we are doing, there is just no viable alternative now, nor in my opinion, in the future.

As to why more people aren't calling, I do not know, maybe RCU is not as big as we think, cause at my field probabaly 3/4 of the jet pilots do not even know any of this TRC stuff is going on in the first place! Ingorance is bliss!
