My Airplane Is No Longer Available!!
Since all I get now is flakes that don't want to even split 1/2 the fuel on
a flight together and do not want to help with General Maint when using MY plane for their solo personal use and leave the tanks near empty when they park it I regret to inform all that the ride share in my plane is no longer available to anyone. Thanks to the ones that actually had paid their way.... but sorry some/most of you that i have shared with have become flakes on my dollar it's over as of now!!! All I asked was $10 an hour if solo to help cover oil/filter and up keep, + copy of your valid rental insurance, top the tanks when your done, & no student training, if your riding along 1/2 gas... The Free/Cheap ride is Over! You wanna fly GO RENT! at $60.00 or more an hr + Fuel Surcharge.. |

Wow,... sounds like you may be the flake by telling the "usenet world" instead of going to the individuals directly. And why would you deny access to those that have treated you fairly? |

The Free/Cheap ride is Over! You wanna fly GO RENT! at $60.00 or more an hr + Fuel Surcharge.. Fairly typical, unfortunately. When a few guys form a club or partnership in an airplane, they need to sit down first and write up some stiff bylaws, make them into a contract, and each sign the thing. Too many partnerships (and owner/borrower groups) have exploded in fury after the various, normal abuses surface. A club needs to make some sort of arrangement whereby each member in turn is responsible for the airplane a week at a time. During that week that member has the use of the airplane but also has to clean and service it. If any other member wants to use it he must call the guy on duty for that week. The bylaws will have a set of weather minima, a requirement that all regulations be observed (to protect both the airplane and the other partners, not just the pilot flying), and some penalties for the rebels, up to and including expulsion from the club. I have seen clubs break down because one guy leaves the airplane dirty and the tanks empty, another will tell his friends that it's "his" airplane, a third will do stupid things with it, and one conscientious member will fix and clean and quietly look after everything until he gets fed up and goes and buys his own. His departure, of course, will mean a lot of work for the remainder and they'll start squabbling about who does what until the whole thing breaks up. Sad. Dan |
