Wake up! Time to fly!
I was just reading my emails and came across the latest AMA newsletter. In it there was a link to an op ed posted on the news outlet "the Hill" site. I try to keep up with new things regarding drones and what is happening. I even started a thread to help the guy seemingly wanting to side with drone users get voted in reminding people the vote was coming and who stood for what. We got the vice president elected that says he stands for drones.. Sadly the President however just threw us all under the buss with an op ed post on that site.
In it it reads to me like anyone NOT in AMA is getting portrayed as rogue pilots and need to be punished. This jerk lumped anyone not under AMA into the catagory with the morons with the Phantoms screwing everything up for the rest of us. No regard if we are responsible pilots or not. If you are not AMA he portrays us as rogue pilots.. At least thats what I read out of what he stated.
Read it for yourselves and let me know if you get the same feeling about what he writes.

If the general consensus is what I got out of this I think action on our own behalf needs to be put forward and slap some sense into this guy for trying to lump us pilots making the effort to fly right in with the morons. According to him only 200k registered AMA drone pilots are safe and the remaining 700k registered with the FAA non members are not.
