Five green
I suggest you let the AOA know of whom you are speaking. They could make some enquiries to ensure that commands are not being offered out of seniority.
The high failure rate almost becomes a self fulfilling thing. I heard that about 15 out of 16 guys got through on the bus and so suddenly the bus command isn't so frightening. You still have to wonder how one fleet can have such a high failure rate over the years. Just need to get management to look up "sytemic error" in their handbooks!
