If the AOPA is serious they really need to come up with a good
countersuit that would cost those filing the original lawsuit far more
than what they are aksing. That they have caused great financial harm
(pilots having to sell planes to meet expenses) is already an arguing
point.


This was a hot topic of discussion on the aerobatics e-mail list last fall.

I wonder how truly serious AOPA is about this issue. They had to be dragged
kicking and screaming into the fight. They got a lot of angry letters and
cancelled memberships before they did anything. To their credit, once they
realized how lame they looked, they did take action to correct it.

Playing "dueling lawyers" won't have the desired effect. The founder of STN
is a Boston lawyer who does all the legal work himself. He has a reputation
of using lawsuits to bully others. You can't cost him more than his time,
which he already donates willingly.
