Thank you for the kind remarks, Gunter.

As for your comment above -

We all have biases and expectations, so I'm certainly not immune to them. I'm not sure I do in this particular case (context), but you certainly gave me a reason to self-reflect. That is some insightful thinking, sir. We all have different perspectives, experiences, and expectations. Case in point: A reserve FO who comments 2-legs to their crash-pad will not share the same perspective(s) as a line-holding CA who lives in base. Touché.
