The instructor did say these wee the outliers and the majority( both civ and mil) were top notch.
-- a guy who refused to do walkarounds, saying "It flew in, it'll fly out."
-- a guy who wouldn't wear black shoes
-- a guy on reserve who wouldn't get a phone
-- a guy who brought a lawyer to his sim check
Hard to believe, but I suppose anything's possible.

It would be hard to bid around the the -900, but it wont be "senior."

If there's something else going on in one's life, let Delta know. They will work with you and help you. If you clam up, they can't help you, and you've put yourself in a bad situation.

Side note, when resupply ships pulled up to the U boats and popped the hatch, the smell was often enough to make them vomit.
