For coaches out there, what’s your opinion of your club’s board? And do you even have think about them at all? Also, for the coach administrators/leaders, how is your relationship with the board? Do they rubber stamp everything you suggest or have feelings and attempt to provide guidance and guardrails for the club (for better or worse)? I’m sure some boards suck, I’m sure some boards are good; just interested in other perspectives and experiences in that environment.

Hey everyone! I'm u/aye246, a founding moderator of r/ClassicAirlineThings. This is our new home for all things related to classic airline things. We're excited to have you join.

Do you like classic airline-related topics? Who flew to what city in what year and with what airplane? Why was Braniff the first U.S. airline ever to declare bankruptcy? When did BOAC start transatlantic 707 service (and what place-setting did they use in F)? How did TWA around the world flights work? Why did Hong Kong choose to implement a checkerboard as part of its instrument approach procedure for Kai Tek? Why did deregulation completely upend the U.S. airline system and was it a net positive or negative? These are the questions and discussions this sub is meant to have.
