Hello

I personally don't think that TET would diminish greatly gaggles. Very often
the fastest way is to go in a group and it is as true here as in any other
task type.

Another problem is that if the pilots separate they might (and will) come to
the turning points from widely varied directions which I don't see as a
major safety increment.

TET has its place in really a difficult to forecast a day but I don't see it
as THE task type. Nor AAT is it, though the trend in task setters seem to
lead that way.

I think AAT is a good task type for unsure or lazy task setter And yes, I
HAVE been giving tasks every now and then...

Enough of venting.. back to the job. Competition tasks still almost two
months ahead

P.S. One possible (but I don't say probable or preferable) task type might
be OLC, meaning us staying up for whole the day. To get pilots home, the
task type should be peppered with a hefty homecoming-bonus...
