SUI Change - Flights will no longer be inspected?

[JeffDG]

Jeff-

Please post the answer you get here. This is a very important issue.

Got my answer this morning:

On 28 February 2015, we will be adding the chartered flights back onto the Commander's Dashboard. If your chartered flights do not have SUIs completed you will need to get them completed. Once the chartered flights are added back to the Commander's Dashboard you need to upload their SUIs into eServices.

So based on that, anything with a Charter still gets inspected, as we thought.

Yep, only one flight in my group that I help coordinate SUIs for, but I wanted to make sure we had things clarified.

In an unnamed wing, there was an unnamed flight attached to an unnamed group. This was a rather isolated area, but the word came down to try to develop a unit in the area. The kickoff meeting seemed to go well, the potential members were like most -curious, unsure, a bit stand offish. The flight started and as time went along, the staff support felt the unit commander (a three year member, on group staff, who was being 'tested' to see how he could handle command).

Things were quiet for awhile and a SLS was scheduled. The G/CC told the F/CC that they needed to bring as many of their people to the class, so they wouldn't be so insular and they could learn what the rest of CAP was doing (I have a feeling the spider web was being disturbed and someone's spidey senses were tingling). The first day of the SLS was, shall we say, a show stopper, when this flight arrived. Odd people, uniforms that were nowhere near appropriate and even the F/CC had 'gone native'. Afterward , the support from group shot up exponentially... it was referred to as 'going to Deliverance (as in the movie) Flight'. That, friends, is why (A) a new flight needs at least two seasoned hands at each meeting; (B) Do a little better job of looking over potential Flight CCs and (C) The Group Commander learned a valuable lesson about supervision.
