To some degree I agree with JL too but since we don't have an "up or out" policy I don't really see the point in his missive other than the standard "crap rolls downhill." Guys are not forced out of the seat, they enjoy the comforts of single-digit seniority, they get called for VLT/DRF often..... heck, sounds good to me!
If you keep bumping up against landings or yam up a checkride, YOYO baby. Currently, I'm on notice but it's for vacation followed by a SWEET long HNL/SYD RFO layover. I bid this next sequence so I could get 4 landings like FR8Hauler mentioned above.
I like the big boy philosophy: you know what you're doing by bidding these lines; don't b*tch when you get debriefed by Standards, either out of the sim or on a line check.
