As an ABC Certifee, AAOP member and an AOPA facility owner, I would like to
offer the following thoughts.
I have read post after post regarding consolidation of AOPA/AAOP/ABC/NCOPE. A
major question remains unanswered.
How much money is being spent on the promotion of consolidation and by which
groups?
This is not a new issue, It was controversial in the late 70's early 80's
when the Academy leadership pressed for total separation from AOPA, even
wanting to physically relocate from the building we used to own. It was a
total disaster just a few years back with the ill fated ACPORS plan which
created a major schism in our small field, which has still not healed. Now
the issue threatens to create further division.
I think there are many of us who would like complete information before
committing to this concept.
