Rules Changes----Advancement

[Grow Pattern]

Troy,
         This is what the membership said to the questions in the survey for 2005 rules changes.

YES = 163____         NO = 10_____          RESULT = CHANGE____
 

 

Question-57 

Should a three-year "moving window" advancement concept be instituted as follows:  Advancement points are evaluated at the end of each calendar year using points the pilot accumulated during the three previous years. If enough points have been earned, the pilot must move up. If not, points earned three seasons ago are discarded and advancement is reevaluated the following year. For example, evaluate at the end of 1999 using points earned during 1997, 1998, & 1999. If no advancement is required, reevaluate in 2000 using points earned in 1998, 1999, & 2000.

YES = 92____         NO = 72_____          RESULT = NO CHANGE (NOT 60%)____
 
Question-58

Some members feel that the fact that a new schedule has been adopted releases the pilot  from the mandate.

Question-59

Should all points reset to zero when a new schedule is announced

YES = 36____         NO = 134_____          RESULT = NO CHANGE____
