I think everyone should absolutely upfront ask for this information if they want it. Because it will tell their date that they’re batshit insane. And if the date answers enthusiastically it means they’re equally insane and the chart might not be needed because they’re super compatible.

Hi, former Air Force guy here. A flight is a unit of measurement the Air Force uses to essentially separate units of leadership/management.
