Hueymeister,
Thanks, correct on both counts. I don't resent those who have made the decision to leave - we all have sometime! But the system doesn't support current serving aircrew. Airline pilots have their schedules months in advance, we're lucky to know what's happening next day.
Its probably too late judging by the theme here, AEFs, and UASs, will be lucky to make through the next round of spending cuts.
