Re: If you're not moving forward, you're standing still
I've said for some time that I suspect that the proposed movement of the MCFI program from the Hills to "NAFI HQ" may in fact have originated from EAA, not from the NAFI Board, hence Tom Poberezny's messages on the subject, and his recent push in that direction.
Consider EAA Airventure as an example...lots of work done by volunteers, all at the behest of EAA. EAA collects the fees, volunteers get a pat on the back. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that concept if you can pull it off.
The point is here though, that the Hills are being reimbursed to handle the MCFI program. Not that much, but I'm sure EAA sees that as money out of pocket, to accomplish work that could be done by volunteers.
I don't see a solution to this dilemma within the current NAFI/EAA structure, frankly unless EAA backs off of this move, and I seriously doubt that'll happen.
I'd like to see NAFI continue as a viable entity, but if we want to see the Hills continue to run the MCFI program, my guess is that it will have to be done within another organization.
