So on the last AE, he put an AE bid in to fly the 7ER ... despite all of his fellow maddog brothers telling him "you're going to regret it".
Wouldn't you know it, said pilot was awarded an AE to the 7ER. Unfortunately, said pilot's personality problem is back, and he now regretting that decision. Said pilot will convert in February of this year.
With this latest AE announcement, is there a snowball's chance in hell that he can get displaced or voluntary displaced back to the M88? Or is he seat locked on the 7ER for two years international hell?

I want to say you can withdraw from qualification training prior to being converted, but you would incur a 2 year seatlocked in your current position. This may just have been a fnwa going to dal equipment and vice versa. Standby-I'll look it up. One of the gurus around here can probably confirm or deny before I find it anyways
