When I got offered a class I was told of what my choices were before I started in the event I wanted to defer. I took the first class offered because seniority is everything. I'm not sure how it works since I've been gone for over 2 years. Prior to that I worked ATC for 25 years and retired in 2008.
I've been peeing for over 56 years. I can even do it in the dark so, no, I don't you to hold my hand or my pecker.
I'm sorry if I insulted you with my lack of experience. I defer to oh great Billyho. Sounds like you go it all figured out. Consider me schooled! I await with eager anticipation your next pearls of wisdom to a young buck like myself! Oh please, please enlighten me and set me straight with all your years of experience.
LOL. There should be a disclaimer to guys like you that post perfectly reasonable questions towards the board that reads something like:
"WARNING: Your questions on these forums may be met by bitterness, sarcasm, condescension and douchebaggery due to the current housing of the Top 1% of regional airline pilots who hate their life and their job and won't ever be happy, even though this career choice was theirs to begin with, being fully aware of the predicaments and consequences".
