<DIV>Scott, For 15 years I have been advocating eliminating the
advancement rules. Let pilots fly where they want and be able to move
about freely. I might as well have been starting a conversation
about snaps. I don't understand why we have rules that discourage
participation. Pilots can not make an informed decision about the next
class until they have flown it in a contest setting. I know we have a
mechanism for moving down now, but if we allow it anyway, why make it a rule at
all? I can name 10 pilots who have quit pattern when they finally topped
out and realized they were in over their heads. </DIV>
