How many fliers are switching to UMA. I want to And was wondering if we can get some feedback, so I can talk to my club about it
<<<<<<<<<<<
Don't know about "How many...", however I am beginning to think that UMA has a very good option for certain clubs and individuals.
For the sport club that is generally composed of sport fliers, it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify the rulings of the AMA Safety Code along with the bureaucracy that imposes these rulings without significant membership/user input.
I can see where a club could cut out a load of unneeded paperwork, and club regulations simply by having the UMA Charter, and then as a club to recognize both UMA and AMA on the individual basis.
For the individual that simply flies for sport and recreation, the UMA insurance would most likely be adequate. It's NOT the dollars that matters. it's simply the dictatorial attitude of the AMA leadership and the general unconcern of the majority of the membership, which is well displayed even to the club leaders. As with the AMA, most club members expect the club leaders to always have the recreational fliers' "table set". In that regard as one who works to keep a club progressive and then watches a dozen others do the same for nearly a hundred more, then perhaps going to the route of the least work just might take some load off those that do far too much for too many.
