As you're aware, the management has "threatened" to hold a roll call at
the pilots meeting; for the last few years it's been largely a bluff,
to make sure the attendance is up for the meeting. Perhaps now is the
time to quit calling "Wolf! Wolf!" and really make a meaningful roll
call. At least it could act as an alert to management.<br>

<pre wrap="">I do know of one instance where a registered pilot was
a no-show for reasons beyond their control, but their
name was left on the flying and judging rosters. His
absence was known Monday morning, but he was still
listed and expected to judge FAI Wednesday afternoon.
I think a check-in at the mandatory pilots meeting
Sunday evening would be in order, no-shows should be
deleted from the flight order and judging re-assigned.
The only exception would be advanced notice to the CD
if someone can't make it to Sunday's meeting.
