Thursday banquet at NATS

[Terry Terrenoire]

This still means an extra day of expenses for the lower classes. Even if
they don't practice Monday, they will have to take Monday off work to
drive in, then if they stay for the banquet, it will be difficult to get
home in time to work Friday. 

Also: Am I reading this right that the team selection will be part of the
mix. I thought that the year Bob ran that that it was decided not to do
that again because of the lost registrations fees.

The other idea that has been batted around was to start Intermediate and
Advanced on TUESDAY to finish on Thursday, when the finals are being
flown.  Then, the banquet would be for everyone.  Monday would be used as
"OFFICIAL PRACTICE".

Not so sure this is a good idea considering that Thursday is a non-flying
day for 80% of the people who attend the NATS. Not that the Master/FAI
losers and us lower classes  live for and LOVE watching other people fly,
but consider the sacrificed family time and money used up to attend the
NATS, and now to attend the banquet we will be required to stay one more
day. 
I could be wrong, but I would think that banquet attendance will be
dramatically reduced. Even the 10 Masters and 10 FAI final guys usually
split Thursday afternoon. 

Other peoples thoughts?
