Please explain your math.Originally Posted by CraigCantwell
I assume your counting all the kids under 10 years old and assuming they're all there at the same time. That requires 6 trained volunteers. (2 for 10).
Are all the kids going to be there at the same time? Are all the volunteers going to work more than 4 hours or volunteer more than 4 times a year? If not, you don't need 6. Six can handle registration, marshalling, escort and other duties. 2 of those are the roving supervisors who can also do some escorting as part of their roving duties. What are the other 6-8 people doing and why are they required?
I contend that you could legally run a small rally with only 3 trained volunteers. Parents, scout leaders, etc. bring their kids to the airport and stay with them, supervising them until it's their turn to fly. One cleared volunteer accepts the completed registration form and hands the minor off to a cleared volunteer escort who is your roving supervisor. The escort walks across the ramp to the cleared pilot and assists getting the kid strapped into the plane. The registration person can see the escort walking across the ramp (2-deep leadership is intact) and the pilot and escort see what's going on at the plane (2-deep leadership.)
Sure only 3 would be extreme, but no more extreme than claiming 14 are needed. How about a little reality check, folks?
