New to GSN!
I keep hearing "this is the time we need to stand together and be united"...well haven't we been standing together all along united in what we thought was a common goal and now here we are. The AMA didn't do jack squat to protect us.
You know maybe its our own faults for assuming what the AMA actually does. Liability Insurance yes...but what else do they do? I know more clubs that have been closed, not near DC and where was the AMA then? Does anyone actually have an example of where the a liability claim was made and the AMA actually paid it? Did they file an injunction against the FAA? Does the AMA even see this as part of their job or is this an incorrect assumption on members parts?
The unfortunate part is that most of us don't have a private field. If we don't have a forward thinking club willing to break away and we want to continue participating in a hobby we love, you have two options....follow the rest of the lemmings or get out.
You kind of feel screwed either way. I'd rather take my AMA money and donate it to the club on top of my membership fee to better the fields than give the AMA more $.
