Launch Order
"bildan" wrote in message ... As a one-time instructor/ride pilot, I've seen it happen many times. The happiest first-time customers were those who got the early and late flights. True. Much of this can be helped by proper diplomacy and by managing expectations from the start. I used to tell ride customers that soaring is supposed to be a fun, relaxing experience, not something regulated by a clock. My favorite line: "When you come to a gliderport, don't have anything more accurate than a calendar strapped to your wrist". Same goes for students:. Remind them that they only pay for time in the air, but there is much to be learned by watching (and assisting) on the ground. Vaughn |

The Japanese students who come here to learn to fly bring a different work ethic than the American students. It's observable to a high degree...they work as a team. We can learn a lot by watching them. Walt |
