No doubt AOPA is equally as surprised at the actions of the insurer as their members are. Hopefully alternative arrangements will soon be forthcoming.
There's a lot of behind the scenes work which AOPA does (mainly digging their members out of their own poo!) which receives little public notice or comment. Cudgels are taken up against those who would restrict GA activity and the industry should be grateful for their efforts.
Lastly, whilst I have no qualms about people moaning about various organisations, to make comments about specific individuals which could reasonably be construed by those individuals or others as being derogatory or defamatory is wholly unacceptable on a public forum and is bordering on the libellous....
