Default RE: AMA's new Park Plilot Program

Well Hoss doesn't the fact that a club, which has exclusive rights to an AMA field, which decides to deny another club, in this case an AMA Park Pilot club, to co-locate at the site actually say something in itself about the reason why the AMA had to go ahead and form the Park Pilot program in the first place? Why wouldn't a club want to combine forces with another AMA club, if they so choose? Wouldn't that increase overall revenues for the flying site? AMA membership dues are seperate.

But if the club decided not too, great, they've just shown their true colors and the likelyhood of the Park Pilots finding a new home is not going to be half or even a quarter as difficult as it was for the the $58 members. Park Pilots don't have to worry about noise issues and much smaller flying sites. Heck they also don't have to even worry as much about shooting down their own planes as they may accidently shoot down others.

I'd figure you wouldn't go for this program, not surprised at all. In fact in the time I've been on this board I don't recall anything that the AMA has done right in your eyes.
