RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........
I get mine in about a week and a half when I renew online.
I became a pilot instructor last season and found it rewarding to get new folks up and flying. All they had to do was fill out a form from AMA and they were covered. 3 out of 5 became members of AMA and our club. Considering our club is around 30 members this was a significant increase for us.
