HSLD...

I wouldn't be so sure. For the high school to flight school deal to work, there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Anybody that takes the CWO offer and gets their wings will eventually one day want to retire and that will entail getting promoted. IOT get promoted, you need good fitness reports beyond that of just piloting skills; admin and staff work come to mind. This message is just the carrot and stick. Once you reach for the carrot and fall into the water, you find out how hot or cold the water really is versus what you were originally told.
