This issue has been kicking around the ARRL Pacific Division
"cabinet" for almost 15 years that I know of (I was in same until 4
years ago). The problem is that the Postal Service wants a big hunk
of money for air mail to individual subscribers - the League would
have to assess a healthy surcharge to Pacific Section members to
make up the difference. You don't want that sort of "special
treatment".

No doubt, every annual paying member, no matter where they are, would
be feeling the bite of higher member and subscription fees. It would
be the feasible thing to do to give "special treatment" to those in
the Pacific Division. This may in fact be another reason why the
Pacific Division isn't given "special treatment"
