Default Launch Order

Just curious as to how it's done elsewhere. I fly at a commercial operation and the priority for launch always goes to the school gliders....this makes sense...the student has scheduled for a specific time days in advance.... Next come the renal ships and glider rides and they too have been scheduled for a specific time. If a private ship is pointed down the runway, meaning they are ready for tow and a school plane needs to launch, they take precedence. I do a lot of hook up, not an employee just another glider pilot trying to be helpful but occasionally one of the "glassholes" gets their panties in a wad. Every one gets launched but perhaps as quickly as they might like.

The students, glider rides and rentals keep the operation open and pay the bills to a greater degree than a private ship paying for a tow and a place for their trailer. Any suggestions on this procedure?

Walt
