Folks,
I check the list only sparingly, so please cc this to me individually as well if you have good ideas,
Guys, you know what I think of this regulation, but lets think out of the box for a moment, donīt throw darts, let the ideas tumble forth, here is the issue and one concept:
goals:
1. All qualified and motivated Fast qualed members to fly on redstar teams in waivered airspace
2. Have their gas expended at the event, hotel room and rental car covered as a minimum of support.
Problem:
1. With no comm lic. they cant accept this "compensation" from the organizer.
Ideas:
What if the RPA could reimburse non comm lic. participants for their donated efforts in supporting RPA public education?< /div>
What if the organizers didnīt pay or compensate them? The "donations" whether from BP, Spruce, AEROSHELL, or the event organizers go to the RPA.
If nationally all fast squadrons-local groups-folks pooled together when flying 8-16 ship formations as redstars in well led and displayed regional mass formation teams and caught the eye of a national sponsor that was coordinated through Stephen Fox (RPA corp sponsor chairman), the event organizers donations would be a mute, the national sponsorship potential to help fund the RPA ops could be significant (the newsletter by the way may go to 24 pages next qtr and cost us over $3000 an issue) .
So...what if the RPA had a requirement/policy to promote our staff members attendance at airshows and had a policy of reimbusing expenses provided for rooms and fuel to those airman selected to attend as rpa volunteers. If the RPA asks you to be there, and you agree, are we breaking this law if I authorize reimbursement for your room, provide a 2 tank fuel stipend and provide a rental van to the group as volunteer staffers? We reimburse folks rooms and car now for events attendance.
Although I know many of you want the Comm ruling changed, this out of the box thinking is strictly focused on the future success of redstars regional mass formation program,
Let the darts be thrown, at least it will spur the neural nets and perhaps spawn a good idea...please email me directly if you have a solution,
Drew
