The way the AMA insurance is set up currently, a school would have to be at a site other than a chartered club if they were to charge to learn to fly. That means some substantial expenses; little things like the lease of land or it's purchase might just drive the price up beyond reason.
In another thread the subject of insurance for commercial ventures at chartered clubs has been raised.
As the number of waiver holder's becomes larger, it makes sense to allow buddy box training; even a requirement. When no one had a waiver, it would have been counter-productive.
If you feel strongly about your opinions, send them to Rich Hanson, the Dist X VP. He is a pretty reasonable guy.
