12:50 5-18-06 After calling the AMA number three times and getting voice mail from membership servicers I decided to talk to the operator. "I would like to join AMA" the operator connects me to someone. "Hi I would like to join AMA as a new member" the other person "you can't join AMA as a new member over the phone". What the heck is happining here, when anyone who would like to join AMA as a new member is told they cannot over the phone. The AMA is losing members yet people are getting told this. This more than makes me mad, I am so discusted with AMA right now, If it were not for the fact I need it to fly at other club fields and the up comming Warbirds over Dane I would tell AMA to put their membership where the sun don't shine.
