Default Re: Just a heads up...Early Bird Registration ending soon

Sure I would, because I would know that:

A) someone who doesn't come doesn't cost me any money, and

B) $30 might seem trivial to me in my engineering job that I drive my BMW to, but it might represent several days' worth of groceries for the student pilots, CFIs, freight dogs and guys on 1st-year regional pay who are the core constituency of this li'l website thingy (not to mention the whole reason for the NJC shindig), and

C) since my hubby is an airline pilot, I know that it's essentially impossible for other airline pilots to plan more than a month ahead, even if they're doing so in order to avoid getting hit with a 50% increase in the registration fee.


But that's just me, I guess.

And you wonder why I've never gone to NJC...
