In a previous article, (Paulo Santos) said:
AirNav helps their members operate their aircraft more efficiently,
increase flying hours and/or reduce operating costs, then it should
make sense for them to do their fair share to improve AirNav's chances
of being around to continue to provide that service.

If AirNav asked for direct donations from people who benefited from it, I
would donate since I use it. But to spend members money because some of
them might get some benefit from it is unconsionable.

$2 per club member per year. If AirNav is not worth $2 per year to
his club members, then he did the right thing by refusing the
extremely high priced offer.

It is not for me to decide that my club members get benefit from something
that demonstrably does not lead to benefit to the club itself.

Personally, I think members of my flying club get nebulous benefits from
having the CoPilot databases available to them, but I'm not about to steal
money from the club to keep that afloat either.

Surely the 98% of DNA we share with monkeys must be enough to stop
people from sinking this low.
