I’ve seen multiple people now say that our AD is making decisions that are putting short term revenue above everything else. According to them to the long term detriment of the program. I don’t really see any obvious example of that. Can someone fill me in on what that might be referring to ?

Haven’t really liked what I’ve seen from him so far. But not gonna write him off based on uninformed opinions either. Just would like some examples of what he’s done. And I’m not talking about the useless letters he’s put out.

RE: Gilbert
You're probably referring to the increased prices to ticket sales/decreased gifting of tickets and the "long term detriment" being the people that are upset about it who will discontinue their $50 eagle club donation.

The people who have gotten free tickets for decades and now won’t buy them, but it’s a ‘detriment’ to the long term future that they can’t get in free.

The problem with that story is the fact that our biggest long-term issue IS lack of revenue. If paying this month’s bills is threatening our ability to pay next month’s, we’re just peeing into the wind anyway.

Can you be precise on what bill (s) that you know of specifically that USM is having trouble paying? Or is this just some sort of hyperbole?
