Ha ha, well no, but people were picking numbers out of the sky and I thought why so low?

Never thought about it... they'd need to make sure the planes never land at any base or airport we serve and even then it may not be enough.

Term limits is a great idea. If you go offline you should have a choice, if you stay out more than 5 years you lose your seniority number and no more than 50% of your time to date can be offline, or you return to flying after 5 years.
Offline would be training, management, chief pilots office, alpa or even the time between posts on apcf.
