What was that about the free beer?!?!?
AMA is ok, but seriously needs some work to make it better. Competition would (hopefully) add a little pressure to improve what we have, and it's always nice to have a choice. Realistically, that's what we got for now, why not chip in and help make it better?
It's not a coffee break/ morning social while someone new is trying to learn and get involved
Ah, but it
is! That's where my friends are! No way I would let a student plow a perfectly good airplane into the dirt because I'm chatting... I hope(and usually believe) others understand that sometimes(like while flying) is not the right time to B.S..... that can be before or after flight(s), especially instruction flights. When someone new shows up at the field, they are by default included in whatever chatter is going on, we're generally very friendly and not exclusive at all.
