Default RE: Alternative to AMA?

Hey, guys, this Premiermarine thing really sounds great. Who the hell needs all those frequencies anyway and I'm sure Premier will intervene for us with the FAA fuzz. Who needs those frequencies since we can always go to CB radio 27 MH frequencies. They are a great bunch of folks that will spend millions to help us RC flyers.
I seriously doubt that the billions in claims from the Gulf Coast will cause them to raise their premiums, London is used to losing money and they don't mind.
Anyway, we don't mind waiting 8 or 9 months to have a lawsuit claim approved by London or another 2 or 3 years for the claim to be settled or having to fly to London to get the claim paid at all.
Boy, this has to be the dumbest idea of all. Having been a London rep for 15 years I can tell you that this one is really dumb. Now I understand that you folks who fly rubber powered models and don't need AMA have a gripe and I understand that you folks that fly in a very small club may also have a gripe since you have never been involved in a lawsuit and met the real world out there face to face as I have. As one who has been a full scale pilot for 40 years and RC for the same length of time, I am committed to aviation and AMA is aviation.
The more I think about it, the more I like the frequencies, the Washington Lobbying and the work AMA does with the FAA and the alternative of working with London, the more I like AMA.

Sorry, been there and done that
