MF has to know he’s selling snake oil. I refuse to believe he’s this dumb or that his cognitive decline is this serious. I’m sure he will try to paint this in a positive light to keep hopes up and keep the cash rolling in. It will all be a part of his “master plan.” I do believe that lying about all of this will catch up to him. If he keeps this up and enough people start asking enough questions about where their money went, EPAS/LEPF might just get the two years they are looking for…in an orange jumpsuit.

In all seriousness, what tax code would something like this fall under? A PAC, or political organization? I feel like these type of organizations get messy, especially if ran by some amateur fool like MF. I feel like embezzlement runs rampant in these types of “funds”.

Listening to the session now, even those supporting 349 are cautioning in needing data first and they support it only if the data shows it is safe from the portion I have listened to so far.

I do unfortunately think some of their leadership genuinely think this could have worked out for them. They just aren’t smart enough to know how ICAO works. This was obvious when they sent their “leadership” to Canada to “talk with representatives.” If anyone here is in their group, I would implore you to ask how that went. Especially if you donated money to these scammers. These guys just wanted an all expenses paid trip to Canada. All they have to show for it is a photo of one of their “leaders” looking like he’s 1,000 years old in front of the building. That’s because they haven’t been able to sit in on any of the meetings or meet with any delegates. It’s pretty disgusting to see elderly people getting scammed like this.
On the bright side, those getting scammed are seen as villains by the rest of the industry.

He’s now spinning a tale that the WP just needed to be introduced and they can now raise it at any point. He is doing a little revision of history on how the age was raised in 2006.
They won’t look up the actual timeline of events. They don’t want to. They want to believe.

He was responding to a “what if” question.

He failed at life, time to move on.

Yeah, and insinuated that this could happen any day by leaving out details.

A similar working paper was introduced in 2003. It had a similar response.
Three years later, after data was collected, ICAO raised the age in 2006.
The US passed a bill in 2007 to raise the age.
If things follow a similar timeline, as it appears they will with support for WP/291 that recommends “a few years of data collection”, this thing is a few years out at earliest. ICAO appears to want more data and then assess. Then the US has to pass a bill.

A stand alone bill like this has zero shot. It doesn’t qualify for reconciliation, and wasn’t attached to the FAA reauthorization or the big bill due to lack of support. Why would it pass on its own?

There was virtually zero chance of it raising in the next few months. He should’ve known that if he was asking for money, but he never portrayed that to the people he was taking it from. A couple of them mentioned they retire in Feb. They gave money.
Bottom line: He has a chance at it raising for him. He gave hope and took money from people hoping it would happen for them, too.

I bet EPAS asks for more money soon and leaves out timelines…again.
