Consider, how many plumbers and pipefitters and homebuilders
and car mechanics and glider repairmen can you call
to come do their lifework for free?

Our club hangar (6 gliders and 2 Pawnees), our equipment shed (4 club
trailers, 2 tractors, mower, slasher, roller, plus odds and ends) and
our clubhouse were all built by our tradesmen members helped by the
unskilled labour of many others. A retired LAME does/supervises the
maintenance of the Pawnees. The glider annuals are all done by members
using approvals gained at courses attended in their own time (and paid
to attend). About a third of the tug pilots drive/drove Boeings.

Why shouldn't the lawyers
be asked
to help
too?

Why should lawyers
be free
