Alternating week priority pilot.

My partner and I have used this system for ten years without little
conflict. I very much like the idea that for half the time, the plane is
"all yours" and you can fly whenever you please. Online systems work fine
too, but it sometimes is a pain to schedule online when you want to go on
the spur of the moment or you're out and about and decide to fly without
ready access to a computer.

With only two people flying moderate amounts (we average less than
150-hours/year) conflicts have been VERY few and far between. The only time
scheduling is ever an issue is for trips where the plane will be out of town
for a week or two. For these, we just do first-come/first-served. I think
we've had one conflict in ten years and one of us simply had to move our
vacation dates a week.
