Re: I can now add TV star to my resume

I know there are plenty who tried with AAMT, Jay. They got the cold shoulder. Now AAMT is a joke. Everyone knows it but those who have been assimilated. I'm not surprised, however, to see you right in there for some reason.

They've now discounted the credential CMT to foreign MTs, so that now even those who wholeheartedly supported it for years are about to drop it. Yet AAMT (or should I say Airheads Inc) are not listening.

Good question. Maybe part of it has to do with the fact that MTs as a
whole have historically not been very aggressive when it comes to
standing up for ourselves and the importance of what we do. Hopefully
that's changing now. But it's going to take more than just AAMT
putting out a position paper. Until MTs en masse draw a line in the
sand, things are not going to change on a large scale.
