It would be really nice to get two shots at an aircraft that is based where I live.
Well, here is a quote from the contract:
A pilot who is awarded an AE or VD for which qualification training is required will incur a 24-month category freeze, and an entry level pilot will incur a 12-month category freeze.
In all the AE/VD awards I'm aware of, your seat lock starts when you are awarded the position. I don't know how you would get two quick shots at any aircraft......you would be seat locked once awarded the first one. Am I missing something?
