Alrighty then. We agree to disagree. It must be the humidity here in Florida.
It's not my problem anymore. Some other schmuck can volunteer to do it and then be criticized.
The next time you notice that there are no contests because nobody wants to run it, remember this thread.
Interesting. I think you make a good point, but not the one you think you are making.
I would argue that by making Basic pilots feel like they are less than the other classes will in fact lead to a day when there are no contests. Where will the upper class pilots come from to fly and run these contests?? Pop up fully developed and ready to go without ever having learned the lessons that Basic (and Sportsman) have to teach?? I doubt it.
But you are right, running contests is not for the thin skinned. And burnout is a very real danger, especially when it is left to a few to do it for the many.
