Lawyers Flying Gliders

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
to gliderclubs?
