Mike,
I always try to take at least one shift during the big launch weekends
and I'm willing to take more if I'm going to be there long enough.
I'm willing to cover a shift on a regular launch weekend as well but
often my son takes that for the family - he really likes doing it.
You had said, "For instance, if someone feels that lack of
information/training is an issue, why not approach the board, request
the info, and produce materials to rectify the situation? Or, if the
info doesn't exist, offer to develop it? Would it really take that
much more time and effort to do that than was spent commenting on the
lack of it?" Umm, actually, I had never thought of it until Rick
mentioned it and my first thought was, "Hey, that's really cool! I
wish I would've known that before." I did what I thought was my best
impersonation of what I had seen other people do before me, basically
OJT. I had taken the slow times so it wasn't too bad. So basically,
I would've happily help develop it if I had realized that I had needed
it. I do need to spend more time on the lake bed learning. And I
discuss it here because it is one thing that I can do now between
launches. I'm happy for all of this discussion as I am learning so
much.
And since e-mail can be such a terrible way of communicating I do want
to assure you that this post isn't intended to be a flame, purely
informational. If it came across as a flame I apologize. My feathers
are NOT ruffled, my spirits are bright, I'm having a really good day
today, and I'm looking forward to flying in just two and a half weeks.
I wish the same for you.
Thanks,
Mike
