Default RE: Points worth Consideration:

I guess I am sort of a unionist, if that is the proper word. Our history is that everyone, no matter what they flew, was treated the same in the AMA. I realize this is not completely true anymore with turbines and giant scale, etc. However, I really don't like the idea of creating two (or three, or four, . . .) kinds of membership. It seems to me that one kind or another is going to be seen as second class. Look at the opinions given on this forum on junior age memberships (which I can live with).

What does the AMA have that the parkflier person wants? Has anyone really considered this? Until the AMA figures that out, and then sells it to parkfliers, they are not going to come surging in here. I kind of doubt that it is a cheap restricted membership in some organization they never heard of.
