When you join the club you're assigned to a crew.
The crew is made up of a Flight Operations Officer and 3 ground crew. That
crew is paired with an Instructor and a Tow Pilot. There are separate Field
Maintenance and Aircraft Maintenance crews.
The FOO and the ground crew have a duty day every 7 wks. Instructors and
Tow Pilots have duty days a little more frequently--maybe every 5 or 6
weeks.
About 5 kids in the club also hire themselve out if you can't make your duty
day at rates around $50/day.
On Weekday's it's more of a scramble--"hey we've got a tow pilot for
Friday--who can come out and play?"
We're lucky in that we have close to 150 members with a lot of CFIG's and
tail-dragger power pilots.
We've worked hard to move pilots from PPG to Commercial to Instructor.
