ORIGINAL: FLYBOY
You have to realize, there is no way this guy belongs to the AMA. If he did, he would fly with the club. He also is so self centered, he doesn't care if the conflict exists or not. He is at as much risk as they are.
Its a crummy situation. Personally, I guess I would move to a different freq and avoid the problem. What goes around comes around, and the guy will definatly have problems in all aspects of his life given his lousy attitude.
I just don't get this kind of response. Statements like this are what turn many people off about the AMA. The AMA does not have exclusive rights to the flying frequencies. It is entirely possible that this guy was flying before the club moved near him. He might have a really nice personal field and no desire to pay club dues or wait to fly while the 3D pilots have the runway tied up with hovering practice. Which is more self-centered, the club telling the guy to fly with them or else, or the guy asking to be able to continue flying on the frequency he may have been using for years?
Once again, according to the OP, the club and the guy have worked out an agreement which appears to meet both their needs. Why do people have to disparage the guy?
