I sent in a suggestion to offer some incentives to recruit and train more beginnrs. Something akin to AMA's current Sign 3 and Fly Free Ambassador program. I was surprised how so many were not even aware of this program:

The idea is to offer members free membership for every newbie they train to graduation. Clubs and AMA should be able to iron out all the details like they do for every program including the trubine waiver. that has proven successful. I am sure that someone will try their best to find warts in this or any other idea, but it would be great if they put as much energy in finding solutions to any problems.

Take care,
