I never take verification flights after getting burned more than once on them. They won't be ready at 0500 so you will sit around waiting for someone to get the airplane ready. If for some reason it falls through, you get 2 hours of suit up pay and that is it. There is a reason they are almost always going out as IA's....nobody else wants them for GS pay so they pass and eventually go into the assignment process.
