Daubie that won't work for FSO.
To get into Fri Night Squad ops you need to be part of an established squadron.
The main reason is that FSO is setup to let as many people as possible enjoy the event with as little impact as possible on the CM crew. So its designed to almost run itself with a just a design CM and a setup CM that actually sets up and runs the event.
To do this orders, command structure, etc all have to come from the squadron level. If you really want to fly in FSO email me or daddog and we'll see about getting you in for a frame or 2.
For everything else, yes, just invite yourself, relog, then come back in & set stuff.
