Well Mayday Mark. I've obviously never had the honor of basking in the glory of your esteemed presence. I'm sure I would have remembered it if I had, since it would have been a noteworthy experience for sure. We definitely have more than our fair share of great men and women at FedEx, but it is an amazing ability indeed to draw multiple conclusions from a single paragraph without being in possession of any facts whatsoever. Anyway, it appears to me that: 1. You are flat out calling me a liar, 2. Questioning my character, and 3. Even indicating I have had problems in Training. Those are amazing assumptions indeed to draw from what I wrote.

You are wrong on all counts of course, but please don't take my word for it here. Go ahead and contact me personally if you dare. I'll pass you the pairings in question. We can then discuss my spotless training record here; and finally I can ask you in person why you thought it was acceptable to attack me in the manner in which you did.

Meanwhile, what I wrote stands and nothing you can pull out of thin air can change that. Captains I have flown with have taken all the landings on a trip to manage their own currency. It is their right of course and no one questions that. I went non-current once because of it and I merely bring it up as another factor or dynamic to consider when the senior here question why FO's sometimes have trouble staying current. Raise your little flag if you want, it changes nothing.
