55 pound increase
Gentlemen
It would be unfair to second-guess DB here. I unequivocally believe that he was sincere in what he wrote.
Couple of weeks ago, someone stated here that it was a waste of time pushing the weight limits re-evaluation, but low and behold, the president of AMA addressed the issue in his newsletter.
Instead of second guessing DB's intent, let us channel our energy into lobbying for what we wanted. You might be surprised on the number of allies we have on our side. Believe you me gentlemen, changes are on the way. You will be surprised on what we are going to get hopefully before the end of this flying season.
Regards
Ben
