I like the idea of flying at any AMA feild. I enjoy a good road trip. I can easily see touring the country with some airplanes in the RV and spending a day or two in each town. We all take vacations. Most people take their golf clubs. Why couldn't we take our airplanes ? Just as golf courses have green fees. our clubs could have a similar fee, for example 10 dollars per day. The program could be voluntary. Only the clubs that wish to participate would be involved. A current list could be on the AMA website along with contact information. That way prior arrangements could be made when travelling.
The OP definitely has some problems. He posts almost like he is text messaging like a teen-ager. His style does not lend itself to readable prose, as others have commented on, and IMO presents no case for that which he wishes to express.
Personally, as one that travels from SE TX to the Upper Peninsula, MI, each summer, I dare say that I think most any AMA Chartered Club will invite any AMA member for a day or even several day's flying. OTOH that individual that thinks he can go to each club within an area as he so pleases, and fly for free is, IMO, basically a financial illiterate as well as ignorant of the social world.
Most clubs and definitely clubs on private property, their owned, or rented, or borrowed has expenses relative to that facility. Free loaders are not going to be welcome on a continual basis. Common economics.
For those that push the day fees, that is probably going to eventually happen. If so, a club best be incorporated for the club will be subject to the IRC as administered by the famous IRS. Even if incorporated under the IRC 501 (c) (7) most liberal, there are limits to the non-taxable income outside member dues that the club can earn without becoming subject to Federal Income Tax. That means the Club Treasurer is going to do more than report monthly income vice monthly outgo such as how much work was done on the club's mower/s.
Just who in heck would want AMA dictating their club's social calendar? If AMA tried that then I would predict 25% drop of Chartered Clubs the first year and another 25% the next year. My flying would immediately become a thing on my personal property and maybe some club events. Big Brother is good for what Big Brother now does, but nothing else is needed over my daily life.
So, we don't need any AMA dictating any club's activities more than what we already have, No individual deserves any free rides outside what the club he/she belongs to determines for its members, and those that think any form of government should be able to do so, well they can just go elsewhere, and look for better. Just watch-out for the crowd that is coming towards you. [sm=devious.gif]
