John, If the last of the grid is struggling, the gate opening should be withheld. Once the gate is opened, the day results should never be nullified. I would hope that words to that effect find their way into the rules next year. JJ "Never" is a long time. The CD usually does not talk to every single pilot, only to the task advisers, so he may not know of trouble. The "fair" "safe" and "force majeure" language in the rules allowing days to be thrown out in extreme circumstances seem sensible in principle, even if you disagree in their application in this case. I recall a precedent, a world championship day that was protested and canceled after the fact because a pilot had been towed away from the usual drop zone, too far to make it back to the airport and landed out. I too am a long way away and not even thinking of second-guessing decisions here. Thanks for posting the info so we can all think about it. John Cochrane BB |
