Can someone help me out? was I cheated out of a trip?
Not quite sure I understand the question. If the trip is more than 12 hours out, why wouldn't they use a long call guy? Is his raw score lower than yours with his yellow slip in? I'm probably not understanding the question but I don't see where the problem is. Number 4 in the list is long call pilots and number 5 is short call pilots.

They were just waiting for your permission to do the press release.

Was this the same shrink that committed suicide or are you folks from a different era.

I told the shrink my dad did psychological pre-employment interviews and I was done that quick.

That was the guy that did the psych stuff in the late 90's, I believe.

The shrink asked me if I had a death wish when he found out I was a skydiving instructor. I told him he had a bigger death wish than me because he was into hang gliding. He asked why and I told him that at least I had a reserve chute if something went wrong, whereas all he had was a quick prayer. He laughed and agreed with me.

If you had to talk to a bunch of pilots every day, you'd kill yourself too. I know I would.

Dude...Please tell me you ended the conversation by reminding her that the laundry basket was starting to fill up??
