Based having seen how much time and effort it does take I think it is not unreasonable to point out that it is a HUGE time commitment if done properly. But that does not mean that the DVP cannot be employed full time, many have been, but it puts a real strain on your leisure time. Most that have discovered that they basically had no time for flying since their free time was consumed with District Business.

Being on the EC is not a "hobby". It is a serious commitment to being on the Board of Directors of a large membership organization with a multi-million dollar a year budget.

We've tried the District flying site out here already and I am concerned that without apparently having any knowledge of that Mr. Tougas has made it a major part of his platform. That is all well and good, but without at least knowing what has been done in the past it seems to me to be a recipe for essentially re-discovering the wheel. Which is why I keep asking about it. Details are important. Where are you thinking of putting it? How are you going to pay for it? Who will do the work? I've seen the enormous effort that it took to get the first Regional flying site approved and wonder if Mr. Tougas understands that difficulty of the task he has set out to do. Not saying it cannot be done or even that it should not, but saying it and having even a broad plan on how to do it are two different things.
