reguarding ama numbers
 
You know everytime I come in this forum it seems pretty tense, and I always leave feeling worn out and under surveilance ....


Here is my Question, due to the fact that I have quit and rejoined the hobby so many times..I have had 3 maybe 4 different AMA numbers... Now if my number is reissued to another member.. does he get the credit for all my good landings while I fell under that number? Or does he just get blamed for the crashs? Because I would like to push off on somebody else a few INCIDENTS in the past that have been bringing my down my overall average.

They were ALL radio hits of course :D But you understand my position...

I don't think they reissue numbers. That why we have people with numbers in the 7-8E5 range.

There was a time when they would reissue you a lower number than the one you had when you
became a CD. I was offered that when I became a CD but passed. I do not know if they still
do that.

They typically do not give old numbers to other folks unless they ask for it specifically. By the same token, you can request your old number back when reapplying for membership.

Just a quickie FYI here for y'all. I had e-mailed AMA some months ago with a request to do just this - restore my original AMA number. Got no response at first, but after waiting 6 months I e-mailed the membership director (Shawn Grubbs) directly, and within 2 weeks got the nicest reply from him - - along with my original number, RESTORED!!!! Took 1 more week to get my new AMA card in the snail-mail. Numbers are never re-issued to a new member, but CAN be restored to the original member.

He'll probably hate me for this but, TELL HIM I SENT YOU.

They still offer the 4 digit number for CDs.
I asked NMPRA for the same number as my Revver Brotherhood number, 41, and they graciously gave it to me.:D

They may have changed the rule, but they issued me two numbers.
My number is 79669, my son's is 79670. When I enrolled my two grandsons I wanter to keep the sequence, so I called DM, who was Dist II VP at the time, he checked with Muncie and I got 79667 and 79668 for my grandsons.

But that only works if it's availble. I had the same experiance my original number was 80026, when my now ex wife joined in 1994 I asked for as near a sequential number as possible and got 80028 because it was available. When I became a CD I droped one zero and got 8026.

They're flexible if your're polite.

And no...there's a huge database that tracks all your crashes and moves them to your new number. Only the good landings stay with your old number:D
