I was an OOD back in the early 90s, i.e., pre-internet, so we didn't have a clean way of adjudicating bets. So we didn't do this, and we stood our time on the scope with pride, rather than trying to weasel out of it with weird bets.

Also, a scope rotation was 30 minutes.

And the only OOD that ever called for a scope relief while at routine PD was the Navigator, because he sucked.

Your unpaid scope bet pales in comparison to the duty day which I am owed.

Rick, what would it take for you to settle up this debt? We’d love to know more and tell the story about the duty day you are owed.
