Interesting perspectives....mostly related to being bothered by phone
solicitations.
Actually not, read back

Also interesting that no one seemed to want to comment upon
the fact that they published an article about sailplane racing.

Was covered in another thread, good article!

I would say
that in doing so they are showing interest in our sport and would like to
see that as a positive step and reluctant to be so critical.

I agree

You may have noted that I never said that the AOPA was the best
representative of soaring. What I did say and what I will stand behind is
that they are the best resource
out there for protecting and preserving our rights to fly freely in the USA.

Agree


Powered pilots share a common goal with glider pilots

Not always true, gliders are not always made welcome at airports and AOPA
is little help in these situations. For that we need the SSA. It is too much
to expect AOPA to get involved in a dispute BETWEEN its members.

wrt these issues and there are many more of them so my hope is that by join
forces that we can be even more effective and eventually get better
representation for our sport

Agree

Naysayers flame away!

No flames here!
