They must all decide if they wish to be airmen or mere pilots. Those
wishing to select zero are lazy and don't want to think or maintain an
acceptable level of airmenship. Those who allow such practice are
tired of beating a dead dog to fetch a bone.
Here's the thing.... when the canopy closes, who's to know. The
individual is still responsible for his performance.
The club should establish the level of expected performance and
standard operating procedures. This level must be high knowing that
some individuals will slack off 20+%. Training to 95% - 20% is just
within acceptable levels. But train to 80% , well now you have to have
good insurance and extra gliders.
The good side of weak requirements is the increase demonstration of
Darwins theory of Evolution and the improvement to the gene pool.
Wait till someone has to tell the old geezers they fly like crap and
no longer are allowed. They won't be thinking MSL anymore.
30 years to decide, huh? All of you should go back to school.
Who the hell is in charge?
