Very valid point. I don’t plan on flying any on my days off this month. Too much family stuff. Don’t have a GS in. Let it get to the junior peeps faster, hopefully a commuter that wants one can actually get one soon enough to make it.
I guess to interceptor that makes me an idiot. To each their own.
And my sarcasm was specifically for the people hoping to get a batch size violation, and stating that’s the only reason they put it in. I don’t fault them, and you are right, it is legal. I’m just not going to. But like I said, to each their own.
