"you won't have to worry about Foxhunter "
My only worry about George is that he MIGHT be pouring my coffee for me. However, in light of the acrimony that's building, he might be wise (obviously, if he hasn't managed his finances well enough that he's dreaming about a resurrection back to the front seat till 65, he isn't) to forego the backseat and take a job somewhere else where he hasn't wee weed in the punch bowl.
If you're determined to believe that the ATA is willing to pay for your, and many others' training, to come back to the front seat so that you can call in sick. Well, you really are sick. Maybe those silly little blue pills from VCP, taken in large quantities, also produce hallucinogenic effects on some elderly subjects.
