Dude! That sucks.
Kinda surprises me, but then again PR can make anybody look good...I mean some PR firm convinced an entire state to elect Arnold.
So I take it after the FAA suspended it, they revoked it.

No, it was suspended for 6 months pending revocation. He successfully appealed the revocation, but the suspension stood, even though the suspension was, IMO (and legally too) groundless. So now in his corporate job, he can only fly as SIC until he gets his ATP back in another 3 months. Point is, he's been dumping money into that pissant AOPA since he was a student pilot, and what does he get for it when he asks for a little help when it's needed? Nothing.
AOPA is fairly worthless IMO in many other ways. Look how much good they did for Meigs and other GA fields that have closed/curtailed flight ops over the years. I've got nothing I care about for them, except for a few good articles in their magazine. Besides that, they're just another Washington lobby looking for any pilot's $$$.
IMO, AOPA is one of those worthless things in aviation, much like Sporty's Pilot shop and their overinflated prices.
