Much like almost every outlier, the perpetual mil leave “abuser” is a very rare specimen. But since everyone knows someone who knows one, or once knew one, or once knew someone who once knew one, there’s a tendency to think something is widespread when in fact it is exceedingly rare. And folks like Sailing exaggerate their story for effect (did you repeatedly verify the availability-for-greenslips-on-every-day-off before telling us that what happened in your category? Believe it or not, some people actually bid off days with that exact goal - civ and mil - but you knew that already). My hunch is we have several hundred active military pilots TOTAL, with problem children numbering in less than the dozens... on a list of 12,000 pilots. Methinks there are more pressing issues that threaten ALL of our careers and quality of life much worse than these evil unicorns.
