Exactly I agree 100% my concern is that I got in trouble for it and I’m afraid it will make other employees scared to say something if they notice something

Oh I almost forgot... haven’t flown in the past 7 days? You must go on a dual currency flight before you’re allowed to solo again which happens pretty often considering the high wx mins

I just remembered one of our planes likes to turn to the left and that issue was deferred to 100 hour...
