95% of gliding instructors do it for free
95% of winch drivers ditto
95% of ground equipment maintenance ditto
95% of glider airfield maintenance ditto
95% gliding club building maintenance ditto
probably 75% or more of club gliders are maintained by club members and signed off by in-house glider inspectors - for free
and 95% of tug pilots do it without payment either!
Why? Because they enjoy being part of a group effort and part of a community. This particular community likes to fly gliders
This notion that everyone should be paid to do anything beyond scratching their own *rse gets a bit annoying at times.
