RE: NATS 2012
What happens when we get a line where the "gold" pilot doesn't show up? We have an easier line right? So some people in that group may make the finals and push 1 or 2 out that perhaps should have made it. I think 10 should go to the finals if we fly by the matrix system. Especially when the class has the turnout that Masters has. And especially if a "gold" pilot doesn't show.
But, whatever, we have so many things to work on to make the nats more improved. Can't change it overnight, but the conversations such as these over the past few years helps in the long run I think. I know I learn things from them.
