You NURPS (retired and active) are mostly an embarassment to the line pilots who have to explain why we have pogues like you in positions of authority instead of someone who has "been there and done that."

Believe be, Pilot7576, I can understand your frustration. I'm not trying to defend the way things are, and I'm not trying to tell anyone how to conduct their business. I was simply answering Whalesurfer's question.
But, this has certainly reminded me why it's never a good idea to post anything on these toxic message boards. I will take your advice.
