Having flown 40 missions, you certainly know of the overhead involved
not only in coordinating missions, but also in administrating the
volunteer pilots (maintaining proof-of-insurance, etc).

First, I resent being told I MUST pay. So do lots of other people.
I'm paying for the entire flight out of my own pocket; to expect me to
also pony up cash is just too much.

Second, I think much of the administration is bull****. In fact, as
far as I'm concerned the ONLY part that is not bull**** is the process
of scheduling missions. Period.

I think that maintaining proof of insurance, procedures manuals,
checkouts, and similar nonsense is - well - nonsense. I think people
who fly for Angel Flight are inherently responsible and will make sure
they're doing it right - the safety record certainly supports that. I
think that liability insurance only makes us a target.
