Foo - fighter, as they say.....every village has one...!!!
You've just shot your self rightly in the foot and as Shrike so correctly put it..how on earth do you expect to leave your arse end of the world flying your "little" aeries as you put it if the shananigans(sp?) at NTW continue? If there are no promotions within you ain't going to see anything but your little aerie for a very very long time.
This is not a discussion/debate with regards to experience levels....rather one of fairness to allow those that have paid there dues and gained the much needed expereice to gain that coveted left seat.
Have a think fighter boy because with your attitude maybe a little aerie going through the weather is probably the place where you need to stay.....!!!
By the way Shrike200 nicely put....'bout sums up everything!
