Dave,

Funny, I've been trying to get our club to schedule more like
CISS does. Currently at Albuquerque we schedule 2 ops people per day,
and an all day tow pilot. (#2 is usually a volunteer) And an
instructor only shows up if someone calls them and says they want an
instructor. It works, but would run much more smoothley if one or two
more people were added...

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.
