Default Jeppesen renewal notices

I dispise being "reminded" to renew six months in advance. Worse, is the
claim that it will save them money. Send me one renewal notice, when it is
due and I'll pay it. What could be cheaper?

Of course, having me renew way early does more than save them money, it
makes them money. Me too! I'll keep it until it is needed, if you don't
mind!

Give me a good product, charge me a decent rate for it, and don't lie to me!
For AOPA, I recognize that their product includes more than a magazine in my
mailbox.

As for AOPA Pilot, the articles have been getting smaller and smaller. The
information has been getting sparser and sparser. The self-promoting
material has been expanding almost as fast as the advertising.

Tip for AOPA: I'M ALREADY A MEMBER!! Quite preaching to the choir! I know
what services you provide. How could I not? You remind me every month in the
the renewal packet!!!

I don't recall them being "sleazy" but I do think AOPA is horrendous. I
must have gotten at least 3 *dozen* letters, voicemails and emails to
re-join. I quit because of AOPA not being an organization for pilots but
simply an advertising/spamming organization
