I have completed all the checks and bless by EAA. However I am totally unsatisfied with the background check. I just worked with Sheriff's office and they did a full background check. Why couldn't the EAA just do a follow up vs looking for another way to lose my information.

Now about the wives that cook during a YE event. They are members by marriage to members of our chapter. They WILL NOT submit to background check and therefore apparently can't be cooking in the kitchen at the public airport when a minor comes into eat breakfast. All the EAA has to do now is convince them. Never happen I can assure you. How about older members way over 65 that are honorary members in the chapter, they wont' do it either.


I understand that society and news agencies look to make a quick buck at someone else expense but somewhere there needs to be tort reform so that in a law suit if you lose you pay damages. We let the lawyers and easy money makers off easy and everyone else pays with back ground checks, permits, loss of freedom and on.

My guess is our chapter will stop YE flying and do a wait and see until all this sorts out but wont' know for sure until next meeting.

I can summarize this all up in one word,, NUTS!
