Granted, my F-16 guard job gave me some breaks, as well as the NYFD gave me a good schedule because they liked me so much.
Not saying it's impossible, just highly suspect. I don't know any Eagle guys timing out sitting reserve. A couple years ago, I knew guys at ExpressJet and Mesaba who worked their rear-ends off to time out...but not every year for 3 years, and unless you trained on different equipment, your upgrade wouldn't be nearly as long as Timmy's Saab-to-Embraer...
but, hey, my hat's off to you for killing-it every year @ Pinnacle...that must have sucked!
