There is both an Air Boss and a Line Chief position. It the Air Boss's responsibility to keep traffic separated (by sending glider intros one way and power intros the other, for example) and to determine safe landing/takeoff times for itinerant aircraft. The Line Chief is responsible for making sure that our flight line operations run smoothly, keeping guests appraised of how long the wait is (if any), and dispatching golf carts for retrieves. In short, the Air Boss looks up and the Line Chief looks down.
John Brake has volunteered as a flight recorder, backed up by Sharon O'Leary as an "Intro host". The intro host greets visitors at the flight line, answers any questions they have, and assists the pilot in making sure our guests are strapped in correctly. They can switch these roles out between them as they see fit.
I've slotted Alex Karmanov, Dave Key, and Ken Ashworth on the golf cart retrieves all day. It's highly unlikely we'll need all three carts all day, so it should be easy enough for them to take breaks as needed. John Craig will have a cart all day not only to ferry gusts back and forth from the flight line, but also if necessary to provide first aid.
I've tried to divide up flight time as fairly as possible while not burning out any of our intro pilots. Please, send me suggestions if you think this can be improved.
Hugh Douglas and Keith Laidlaw will be our primary payment handlers. We are using a third party service, FrontDoor+, to handle cashless and advance payments. Hugh will making sure this runs smoothly and showing people how to use the system.
After lunch, Kris and Tracy are freed up, currently as spares. If either of you has something in mind you'd rather be doing, please let me know.

With grace and beauty, Strength and cunning She’ll stay aloft — until; Inevitably — she loses. And must glide earthward. And lie there helpless, Lovesick for the sky.
