Hi Folks,
Jeff Senske is being a bit of a prima donna about
NEC... wants to fly first class, and will only work with an ADA tank. (I think
we have an Amano wannabe on our hands) Add to this the fact that the
flights he booked don't have him getting in until 3:25... the AGA meeting will
be over by then.
He says he didn't "remember" he was supposed to
speak at that, but I made it very clear to him when we first talked. In
any case, the options at this point are:
1. Janine is going to try to get him to agree to
fly coach (NEC can't pay that much for a domestic speaker)
2. She was willing to put him up an extra night if
he'll fly in Thursday to do the AGA meeting too.
3. She and I decided that I'd do a program if we
can't get something worked out with him.
4. I told her that if he got entirely snooty about
the first class, we could probably get Dennis Dietz to fill in. He does a
beautiful job, is local, and would probably be thrilled to be
invited.
But then, after I got off the phone with her, I was
wondering whether we (AGA) could/should offer to pay the difference and let him
fly 1st class if he'll come in time to speak at the AGA session. What do
you think? I didn't want to mention it to Janine until I heard from you
guys, but we've got to move fast on this. She's not planning on calling
him until tomorrow to let her blood pressure lower a bit<g> but then we
need to get this sorted out pronto.
I can be easily swayed in any direction. I'm
ticked that he's acting this way, ticked that he blew off the AGA meeting, but
I'd like to offer it to our real die-hard members who show up early for this
meeting year after year. I feel like me doing something is a bit of an
afterthought, though as Janine pointed out, it has been several years since I
spoke at NEC.
Thoughts? Other options I haven't thought
of?
Karen
