Wait a minute ... don't tar all of us Extras with the same brush that
Dick, Larry, et al deserve ...
"Us Extras"? Whooo, that's rich, Carl!
For example the vast majority of the Directors of NCI are Extras (or
their national equivalent thereof).
What differentiates a majority from a vast majority? In a country with
only two license classes, the higher class license is equivalent to the
U.S. Extra?
Additionally, there are a significant number of Extras amongst our
membership ... at least in proportion to the % of Extras to other
license classes.
What constitutes a "significant number" of Extas when compared to the
percentage of your membership holding a license for which no code test
is required?
So, it's not "the Extras" ... it's the PCTAs ...
....and I gather that you don't have many members who support code
testing :-)
