STL, you can't make derogatory remarks, say you're sorry that it's true and everything is ok.
What's so derogatory about it? I just find it quite interesting that you guys think you need to pass some kind of special test to join the AMA and you say I'm the one showing my true colors, too funny.
There was always this group of guys that would slam the old guys because they would just come to the clubs and cry and whine, but never fly. They would come to meetings just to vote and to add their 2 cents and complain about how bad things were in the club, again, not touching a remote control in years. But at the end of the day these guys still paid their dues. Not only did they pay their dues, they didn't take up any space on the flightline, so let them complain and vote all they want, they are still members of the club.
You wouldn't happen to be the type of person that would slam these old guys, now would you?
