longer answer: i think we have placed a certain amount of faith in the dom team to not funnel the funds as, afaik, we’ve never had that sort of issue with them. to be honest, i didn’t even know it was a common practice for the bank to even show how much is in it; i had figured it would open the door to arguments on how and where funds were used if the exact sum were to be shown, if that makes sense… but, then again, i also see why it would make one nervous to not be able to see that the money is actually there, and i also wouldn’t blame people for being a little upset if they found out we had a metric ton of money and weren’t using it for much these days. again, idk— could just be the trust that the team wouldn’t do something inappropriate with it. though it would suck if i was wrong, because we’ve raised a couple hundred million t for this current fundraiser alone, and who even knows how much else prior to it.
i don’t really know what’s going on with dom in my flight, which is unfortunate considering i’d be a lot more compelled to participate if things seemed more put together. but i’m think a lot of us might be too nervous to confront them since they’re otherwise pleasant, not to mention the question of who would come to run the show if anyone actually quits. i can’t recall anyone actually being brought on when some other dom leads retired or moved flights a while back.
sorry, this got a bit long! just have a lot of thoughts.
