2010 Pilot Poll

1) What should happen to the scores of pilots involved IN a midair?

Some questions are so obvious, we can take action without having to
poll them.


2) No mention of recognition for Club Class

Lots of past club class polling, we didn't feel opinions had changed
enough to ask the same questions all over again.

Club class is available, just ask for a waiver and it will pretty much
automatically be granted.

My rough recollection of last year's minutes (see ssa website for
accuracy) was to stick at that level for a while, see if lots of
requests to run club contests come through, see if lots of people show
up at them, and see if there are lots of complaints that sports class
(big or small; both nimbus 3 and silent/1-26 can't fly club) is cut
out.

Please use the comments section of the poll to address issues like
this that we didn't ask questions about. We certainly want to hear if
you like or dislike the current club class plan.

PS if you want more club class contests, run one! So far only R5 S has
gotten going on this.

strategic questions, particularly with the proposed changes to US Team
- Club Class selection criteria.

Again, we polled it last year, and passed info on the the US team. I
didn't want to ask exactly the same question again. As explained in
another thread, they're thinking hard about the whole issue.


I am willing to bet the RC wants us to know that it has no business
determining US Team selection criteria. That is certainly true.

We don't, but we do pass on team selection opinions to the team, and
we occasionally "lend" them the poll. Note this year's question about
world class.

By the way, the team committee needs to think not only about what
makes people happy, but what will produce teams that people will
support. Send them your opinion with a big check!

Please use the comments section of the poll to let us know about
issues we didn't think of.
