Forget...
I understand (and agree though) with the 'selectively hand picked' part (still don't know if union, or if any 'rules' in place....), but with an ATP and 737 type, difficult to comprehend. Unfortunately, we have all seen how some forget how and where they started. Perhap's the case here? I guess 8, 10, 12 or 16 thousand hours FE time mean nothing. I feel your pain, ship........ If you fancy, give Midex in the UAE a ring.
