Acting as CIC of a Friday Frame is a lot of responsibility. Part of this responsibility is sending out Aircraft Requests to your side before you sit down and write the orders.
When you are a CIC for a Friday Frame. You should take the initiative and mail out your Aircraft Requests on Saturday or Sunday. You may not even have the orders yet, But you can always go ahead and check out the current FSO tour and send your Aircraft Requests out.
Ive heard numerous complaints of this not happening recently, Forced to fly aircraft they would rather not for multiple tours. CIC's and Squad CO's should be actively pursuing one another, trading emails through the ahevents.org website. The more communication we have, the stronger FSO becomes.
