I have always thought that the AOPA was out of line to enter this commercial arena. Why were my non-profit dues being used to compete with for-profit entities? It seriously lessened my opinion of the AOPA.
That was already in question by their offers of “great” insurance rates and so on. The situation was clarified when I learned that the AOPA presidents earn close to $1 million a year.
So, is it an “association” of pilots or a big business in its own right?
