I am not cancelling my membership... yet. I believe Mr Pelton picked the worse possible decision by caving in to the FAA. But, I'm taking a wait and see attitude. There may be other factors, like maybe the EAA can't survive as an organization without a week long fund raiser carnival.
The EAA will either file suit and go after the FAA for a full refund and vigorously pursue remedies both in Congress and the courts, or I simply can not be a member of an organization that sold out my way of life in return for a buck. Yeah, time was against Jack. He caved when he shouldn't have. It's going to be incredibly expensive and difficult to uncross that line. If the EAA is willing to pursue it, I'll wave the flag and back it up with my checkbook. If they simply caved, I can't be a part of it. OK EAA HQ. The clock is ticking and the membership is watching....
