Saturn,
To be able to demonstrate any credibility in regard to your complaints about the AOA, remember one thing. A good criticism must be backed up with a plausable alternative. That doesn't include a "do nothing".
I would imagine that you have truly talked yourself into believing what you write, however it is quite clear to us that you are "jack". Lets be honest here, you're to tight to pay for AOA membership which oh by the way aint much, and your "shallow" attempts to justify your non-membership are exactly that.
Get the moths out of your wallet and join a group of fellow pilots that are prepared to put their money where the mouth is. The lawyers the AOA have engaged are going to cost money, are you kicking in????
