Joe,

I agree Expert was a fun class. I flew it during those years as well. Normally there were 2-3 flying it back then. AMA guys just snickered at us back then.

I agree the low turn out of fliers would hardly justify the extra class but given that I still think we should have it.

Without FAI being a destination class and the amount of fliers in Masters it would make sense to bring it back.

The learning flow from Int to Masters then would be much easier jump from one class to the next with the correctly spaced building blocks to make the trip.

FAI is going to get harder and harder as time goes by, as it has in the last 20 years, Masters will follow suit to keep those in the class interested. The flow down from there is going to get deep.
