Default SSA as a division of the EAA?

I have. Shawn, about a year ago, I started a thread on this exact
subject. As it progressed I visited with the folks at EAA, who
expressed their feelings about the relationship between our soaring
world and theirs as a very positive one. The EAA has it's different
divisions, Warbird, Antique, Classic, and the infrastructure to support
it. And all those members who want to try something different.
The only problem was at that time they too were going through a "where
are we heading" problem themselves and bringing the SSA/EAA together,
would have been low priority. Plus the majority of posters here were,
as you can read from the thread, very pro SSA. For cheap entertainment
I think I'll go back and reread it myself.
I've paid my last $65 to SSA. I'm rejoining EAA !

Has anyone knocked at EAA's or AOPA'S door to see if they'll have us?

What do we have that they might want? Sure thousands of new members
(those that aren't already members). What else?
Just curious.
