TMM. .By asking if you can "squeeze a phase 4" the QFIs (I assume) are recognising the subjective nature of your profession - some forecasters will err on the cautious side, some on the permissive. The training system is being run at max capacity with little flex for weather and it is only natural for QFIs to press-to-test once in a while. Personally I think you do an excellent job, though many may not realise how good until they experience the rest-of-the-world.
