I wrote this to the IMAA about 2001 when I decided to drop out.....

A few years ago I was a member also and could see where the IMAA was headed. They did their job so well in the beginning that they failed to realize that there would be a point in time that they didn't have a job.

How many here remember the March of Dimes? That was an organization that took on the task to cure Polio. Did they go away when Polio was cured? No, they refocused and became the center for birth defects. The organization was still intact and rather than fold they changed.

The IMAA has failed to see the forest for the trees. They could have morphed into an organization for 55 pounds and heavier for example. They would be the AMA SIG that set the standards for the real large planes and maybe additional insurance if you were a member of the IMAA. No, they are still wandering in the forest without a compass and will be dead before they realize it.
My opinion...
