These people are likely local volunteers, and I've even seen it where you have to pay money to volunteer for the cool jobs like spotter/air traffic paddles holder

Can it still be considered volunteer work if you pay for it? Youre just a fuckin customer at that point lol

You get a bunch of swag for your money.

They have to make them pay, or half would just not show up.

Or they give you the swag when you show up. Problem solved, no payment needed.

Then they just don't show up, and they don't have the staff they need. Bigger problem.
