Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW

It would be interesting to get a survey to that effect. I have found that with the people I have tried to recruit. Those who show an interest see it as a high performance sport. Aside from the sporting aspect, what does gliding hope to offer a new member? Cheap flying? Prices are compatible to

Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW

Regarding the competition pilot vs. non-competition pilot debate, I don't think I've met a junior that hasn't been, or doesn't want to go to Joeyglide. Perhaps in the broader population competition pilots are under represented, but amongst younger pilots (fresh blood) it seems to swing the other

Hello Niall, 1. Agree with Mark 2. I am staying clear of claiming to know what/how the opposite gender thinks. Many have tried and failed miserably. What makes you the expert? Have you considered publishing a book? Did you consider that you might have offended someone with your claim to "know"? 3.

You challenged me Niall, I believe club live in general is dying. The only way to go is commercial. Volunteers is going to be history (with great respect to all volunteers). I believe in a CFI (I am the CFI) but as we run a commercial operation it is different from a club CFI. regards Grietje

Hi Niall, Sorry if you were offended. All I personally said was I owned a glider with a rego that raised a few eyebrows . Then I said it was a nice glider to fly.which is very true. I think if you truly want to be objective you should perhaps consider that any sexual references that you may

I've been too busy to respond to this thread until now. This response is a precis'. After WW11 the Civil Aviation Authority was formed Most of the good pilots ex. RAAF/RAF immigrants went into commercial flying or formed their own aviation business - others went back to their original

Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW

Not entirely true. Many have indicated a direction. Your problem is, for 1 through 4 you have to have willingness and co-operation from the clubs and the management skills at the club level. Most members of a club want to enjoy the activity without having to run a business. You need special or
