I can understand about having to drive all the way home on a Sunday, and having a kid that flies also would make it ruff with school and all. But......we only attend 4 or 5 of these a year so I want to make the most of them. I want to fly. As far as flying to show off....you have obviously not seen me fly .......

As far as making all the pilots happy....I know you can't make everyone happy....being the VP of our club I can assure that I know this very well......but I would like to see a CD consider flying over travel time from time to time....I know if I was a CD I would. I know other pilots that I fly with feel the same way.....you pay $35 bucks, get a hotel, get food for the field, pay for gas, practice your butt off, take time off from work, etc.....just to fly 4 - 10 min rounds......

Just my opinion....
