Btw, when Amano flies first clas, he only asks us to pick up the coach cost and he pays the diff. That puts Jeff voice a whole octave above Amano, a prima donna goes

Well,I just heard from Janine, and he was absolutely inflexible about coming on Thurs. instead of Friday, so I guess I'm the AGA speaker... unless SCOTT wants to do it...<g>Karen----- Original Message -----From: S.

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_______________________________________________
