An addition to the question... Considering all the backups in training and IOE, what happens if I plan as well as possible (say 5-6 months for initial new hire training, IOE and consolidation) and give my Guard unit a reasonable date to send me to training and then the backups cause me to not get completed by that date? Pretty tough to move training with the Guard, especially because they've put it off while I wait to get done with training at UAL...
