The $10 membership will be open to everyone and is a smart move on the part of the organizers. The extra $10 is basically a drop in the bucket for the total tip cost but it SIGNIFICANTLY changes the paperwork requirements for the better. Not being a "Public Charter" in the eyes of the DoT is a HUGE change and, quite frankly, one which should have been implemented several years ago.

The premium memberships are an interesting thing and some may love them (obviously some did as they pretty much sold out) while others don't. But the overall concept of a membership club to do this is absolutely sound.
