I got a call a few weeks ago. Asked me for money. I told them I pay
for recurrent training. If they could get me my money back in insurance
reductions, then i would donate to their safety courses. I feel I pay
enough for my own safety - don;t need to spend more for something that
does not get me much. Some pilots don't give a hoot. Why should I
subsidize other people's training/education? I already do that by force
from my government with the local school taxes.

Is the caller-id for these calls telefund, inc?

I don't recall. I only got one call. I told them i would check out
their online safety courses and if I thought they were worth it I would
pay/donate. I prefer to go for my own training rather than listen to
some "safety seminar." I have been to a number of wings and other FAA
programs. All have been a waste of time.
