I'll tell you, in my community we believe in getting the AR excuses in early and often ("been a long time," "haven't AR'ed from right/left seat in X months, "we're heavy," "tanker must be letting copilot fly," etc). Has never occurred to me to b!tch "he's not French."
Thanks Jeff, next time I bounce the guys in back around I can complain that we had to tank off Americans.
