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
