What's going on at AOPA?

Your observations are spot on from my perspective. I came to that conclusion many years ago. They don't seem to share my personal vision of access to personal aviation, so I removed myself from their's.

There's plenty of opportunity to support GA in other ways, and more effectively, imho.

It's my opinion that what's going on at AOPA is arrogance. I've been
in their organization since 1979 and each year I swear it will be my
last.

I visit the red board very little. It's inhabited by know-it-alls who
never miss the opportunity to degrade someone else in their quest
to satisfy their egos. Their magazine too seems more aimed at those
with high dollar airplanes and who fly for a living and think the rest
of us should bow down.

A couple weeks ago AOPA sent me a new card and wanted me to
renew now. That's BS .. I just renewed 5 months ago. Are they
that hard up for cash?

I keep renewing when it's time .. because I keep telling myself they're
working for GA. Then I struggle when I think that they're not working
for MY GA and they don't represent the segment of GA I'm involved
in.

As you know, we are committed to civil discourse here, and Dr. Chien knows all of the MC members well; if something happens that is out of line or does not sit well with him, there's a pretty good chance we'll catch it and nip it in the bud, but if we don't see it first, you can bet we'll act upon notice.

For that matter, we don't tolerate ugliness anyway, toward anyone. That's why Pilots of America is Aviation's Front Porch.
