If you don't like it bog off and fly elsewhere
Indeed, which is a reason that I bought my first plane more than 28 years ago, and my second more than seven years ago - I answer only to the license issuer and the insurer for my currency and recency. I choose to no longer surrender to flying club rules.

Back when I still rented, a dispatcher ran afoul of me by stating (in front of my passenger to be) that I was not qualified to fly a 172. I complained to the manager that the dispatcher had no idea of my qualifications, and had no right to make statements like that in front of my passenger. The Manager replied by making out a different membership card for me, which when presented meant I never need to fly a checkout at the club again, as long as I flew something there on some kind of regular basis.

This gesture retained my business. Being regimented about checkrides would have cost them my business. But that's just my opinion....
