    I was there for a year and had the same situation happen a few times. It wasn't a terrible place to start out but they did push things a bit too hard on occasion. In hindsight I should have just taken the violations...rookie mistakes I guess.

    I can remember thinking "I hope I don't get inspected in the next 8 days"...luckily I didn't.

    Per Nancy Reagan, "Just Say No".
    Was the dispatcher sitting in the passenger seat with a gun pointed at your head?

    I can't speak for the other guy, but for me it was simply being an inexperienced rookie.

    I eventually realized that this is a load of Ben and Jerry's, not the navy where you may or may not flip override switches in the name of taxiing out on time. I received a few tongue lashings from the dispatcher but didn't do that anymore after the first couple times.
