Glen Shepherd: I don't know what it is about your e-mails, but every post you make to the list causes an error with my outlook download from my mail server and I have to log into my webmail and delete your e-mails before I can continue downloading the rest. Maybe Marty or someone else could offer some insight on this?

I would prefer that the Advancement rule be discontinued or made a guideline only. I would be strongly opposed to any rule that would require one to qualify for advancement to the next class or in some way periodicaly demonstrate  the ability to stay in a class. I personally don't buy into the notion that class sequences may be either "dumbed down" or made too difficult. The sequences are what they are. You practice em, you fly em , and you sh....God Bless all of the previous sequence committees who worked hard with no pay to give us what we have (including the current advanced sequence). It's my belief that these committee's have applied appropriate guidelines or methodology to derive the sequences for each class. IMHO flying pattern should be a challenge and one should fly the sequence that best challenges them thus no Advancement rule. If you can't find a particular sequence that suits you then just like the weather in Texas...wait awhile it'll
 change :)
