Default RE: Update: AMA Safety and Accident Prevention Program

"Training program" in clubs? ROFLOL! Sorry, but I think there is a significant difference in the way folks do things across the country.

Most clubs I have seen training was a catch as catch can issue. In fact as a club officer, I have seen and heard new members cry that the instructors were not standing around awaiting their every beck and call. When I tried to implement a qualification program to make sure our instructors were at least able to teach, I got shot down because the entire thing was going to 'steal rights from those who wanted to instruct', with no regard about instruction coming from the newly minted 'pilots '.
