If you want to fly a jet and are an AMA member, then, as I understand it, then you need a turbine waiver, regardless of where or when you fly. Gordon?
That's certainly the way the AMA sees it. (Or at least, that's how they saw it last time I checked ... it's not uncommon to get completely contradictory statements from them depending on the day of the week, so if you ask again tomorrow, who knows...)

That AMA position does mean that, regardless of the use of a pen-name, the AMA rag is still effectively showcasing someone who is busting the AMA rules ... but I'm used to that kinda stuff from them so I don't get worked up about it.

For me personally, the positives from that article considerably outweigh the relatively minor negatives. Due to this controversely though, this is also the first time I've opened that rag in about a year. Usually it goes straight to the doctor's / dentist's office just because reading it has historically been a complete & utter waste of time IMO.

Gordon, do you have any proof, other than your word or somone else posting on RCU, that the AMA took this stance? Did they actually write a public letter or did they have their lawyers send out a summary decision regarding this?

I'm not saying there isn't any but I have not seen any concrete evidence.
