If they have tried that with you then you need to call the fleet captain and stop the training. Its not allowed by policy so you will be backed to the hilt.
That is false.
PM me and I'll provide proof of multiple occasions with multiple people on multiple fleets.
In each case speaking with the fleet captain had no effect other than a perfunctory "we'll get you seat fillers...
After all this the only seat fillers are for 303/304, 403/404
In one case 2 pilots went through this single pilot scenario 5 days apart even after pleading with the fleet captain to combine the 2 single pilots...
