my place's training section went digitized. they can't find past documentation I went, and they placed the burden on us (each pilot) to cough up the documentation. So.....
Uh…again…why spend a lot of time digging up expired quals that took place before the earth's crust cooled? Who cares now and why would it matter? I'm obviously missing something…or "someone" is trying to turn "their" job into "your" job.
If it really matters, it matters, I guess. If it doesn't really matter…how about this:
