i want to give an alert that i probably won't get the top 25 posted on time this week. i will be hosting a bachelor party tonight so i am sure i will loosen my necktie and be wearing a lampshade on my head by the end of it.
this gives me an opportunity to do some review on our weekly lists. gunners inc gets many new members and for us old timers we already know the deal but some things should be brought up again for the sake of our newer pilots. so...
-How the top 25 works-
i started doing a top 20 list for g.i long ago when i was an air marshal and trying to come up with ideas to help out. back then we were one big squad of about 100 or so people. later on a 50 member squad limit was introduced so we had to split into wings. still later on
. ! M suggested we expand the BIG list to 25. the list that i post covers the top pilots in all of gunners inc, all 3 wings.
we felt it was a good idea to keep up with all of our top pilots, so we expanded our coverage to include a weekly update from each wing also. those include a top 10 list for the respective wings.
all rank lists are based on a pilot's world rank at the time we prepare the lists.
since i am wing 1 i try and get my list out first thing sunday morning which means right around midnight or 1am on saturday night/sunday morning my time. that way when
KK wakes up over in england on sunday morning he can get his list up for wing 2. then later in the day
Nebulas can post wing 3's list.
that is the idea, but things don't always go as planned. i've noticed sometimes we must go out and live life

so for all you pilots on the rise, check the weekly lists and see where you stand. your name might be listed too!
