I nominate the veteran 777 skipper who took early retirement, taking a job with Ethiopian Airlines being paid only $60 US per day per diem. And that’s while he is doing his line training too!

How’s that for raising the bar folks?

Agree with all that. My comments weren't targeted towards the program. I was just generalizing on a handful of individuals who exhibited tool-like tendencies.

I feel like a tool having to explain that in this thread.

...the NFP who puts his hands on the flaps/gear long before I call for it, in the name of "getting ready". Relax and just wait for me to call for the gear/flaps.
