"They are proper officers, you are a trainee" was the initial response. That didn't go down well, I was married with kids and had been in the RAF for 9 years. My reply cannot be printed here, suffice to say that it involved multiple swear words and a promise never to do another SDO if I wasn't a 'proper' officer. We all ended up doing a couple of duties. I have no issues doing any task if it is being shared out in a fair way
As a matter of nosy interest Jayteeto, what were you doing before pilotage?
