I like Leave OF Absence! I am so far out of the loop! I have been gone for 5 years after being at UAL for 13 years I will feel like a total new hire in the left seat!!!! GOD help me. really..... I heard today a UAL to Beijing and they didnt understand they need to read back ATC says "maintain".... just a chinese thing. But I thought how much I have lost in 5 years here to fly normal in USA??? Shocking.
