AOPA is a great organization when it comes to performing their core

as a "member".

Yep, that's my expereience with just about every AOPA-endorsed service
I've tried to use. Don't get me started about the bozos in MBNA's
aircraft loan servicing department. I finally just paid off the stupid
thing early to resolve their ongoing stupidity.
