By the numbers.
$159 / 365 = $0.44 per diem. Or about a months worth of Macca's coffee – (yuk)...
That is the modest amount it will cost you to join AOPA. Personally, I don't like their banner of 'needing your support'. While that is true enough, it fails to to bring home the real message. Count the number of people and causes AOPA are 'supporting'.
“Need support?” Call AOPA – that's better - and has traditionally been a keystone reason for the existence of the 'body'.
The support AOPA provides to members costs money to provide; those dollars come from the membership. It may not be you who needs 'support' today; but, your membership fee will be part of that support provided to some unfortunate trapped within a maze of medical pony-pooh; or, a brangle with the administration; or, to fight your corner when the bulldozers move in to your paddock.
Like it or not, AOPA is the only outfit independent of 'agenda' other than to see GA prosper and at least try to bring attention to the train wreck. They may not win every battle, the odds against are enormous; but without mutual support they cannot even put a team on the paddock. So, as they say in the classics; put up or shut up. $127 per annum – two cartons of beer - to help GA survive and thrive. It ain't a lot to ask.
Toot – toot....
