"This is the time of the year where there are many" management "distractions; Kids graduating, family vacations to plan and the vacation itself."
After re-reading the FCIF, I finally understand the author's perspective and intent. That's the way THEY think. Obviously, he meant to differentiate between management and line pilot distractions but he was so distracted in his cubicle that he forgot the other list. Thankfully, this thread has spelled it out for him.
When will the clue bird land on their collective shoulder?
Safety first!
