NEC Meeting - No audio?

[DrJbdm]

What a surprise it's down yet again!!

[MIKE]

They also passed crediting former cadets with passed accomplishments for senior membership without amendment.  IMO it could have used a few.

What does this mean, exactly? 

Events cadets participate in already count (SLS, conferences, etc.), so what does this change or add?

Go read the agenda item.

Oh I just loved the slow drunken audio feed.

Sir you need to put down the Gin and tonic.

[DrJbdm]

If they need more GA-8 pilots then perhaps they should drop the Commercial and Instrument rating requirement. just make it at the same requirements as needed to fly ROTC cadets. Private Pilot with 300hrs PIC.

Now it's down completely

Maybe the black vans pulled up and pulled the feed.

That happens as the compression on the audio comes back up to speed.

It looks like they are in a hotel conference room - anyone who has ever used internet in a shared hotel environment knows how flaky it can be, especially on the upchannel.

If they are using a wireless connection that's worse...

[DrJbdm]

you would think that after doing this so many times that they would have been able to work out some of these problems with the video/audio feeds. 

[pixelwonk]

in their house, yes.
In someone else's [ie: various hotel/conference centers]  ...no.

I just tried to reboot from capchannel and according to their website they're on break.   They maybe trying to fix the in and out audio signal while they're out.

SLS doesn't count.

Ok, did anyone else's feed just pop on then back off?

[jeders]

Feed's back up, they're still on break

[link]

ok since I'm just checking in how many breaks have they taken so far?

[jeders]

And the feed's down again. I know it's at a hotel, but seriously? Come on.

[CAP Producer]

They may be at lunch.

[jeders]

They're back at 1229 CDT

Go re-read 60-1, they dropped the Commercial requirement a long time ago. But, instrument rating is absolutely needed for the mobility of the system. What good is having the toy when you can only move it during pretty weather? To make sure it gets where it needs to be on time, they may have to fly from A to B, where it's clear at both A and B, but in between it's crap weather. It's a good requirement.

I love how Col Hodgkins is rockin the flight suit.
