Ted,

As you know, come January 3 many of the Representatives and Senators on that list will be pursuing other career options and the bill's support coalition will have to be rebuilt. There is work to be done in building up the GA caucuses, too.
The bill will likely stay alive in one form or another, and I suspect that the FAA does not want that legislative language to be a factor in the 2015 re-authorization bill. That is why we are holding out hope for an acceptable NPRM, as slow as the process may be.

Jonathan- au Contraire, the grand majority of those sponsors were reelected.

Hope is not a strategy. The NPRM has spent over six months going absolutely nowhere. And AOPA embarrassed themselves by taking a cursory look at the DOT Significant Rulemaking website without looking at trend. A down in headwork. Amateurish.

So, as Lynn asked a few posts earlier, what is EAA's Strategy? This is the number One item among recreational aviators and neither AOPA nor EAA will state to their membership what their strategy for obtaining Third Class Medical Reform will be.

Frankly, it appears to me that EAA has been successfully cowed by the FAA and you are too afraid for Airventure to challenge the FAA. Please tell me something that proves me wrong.

But should I be right, and EAA has decided the Show is more important than being an Agent for Change, then perhaps we Members and Chapters need to consider how we abandon the husk and move forward. Perhaps, it might be time to ask is our organization working for us or working for themselves?
