    Logging Training Sim Time (C-130J)

    C-130H and C-130J sims are certified Cat C or D (Full Flight Sims) sims and count for sim hours in the civilian world for maintaining currency.  Yes there is a civilian type for the C-130J (L-382J type rating is different than the L-382 type).  Yes, there are civil carriers that operate the C-130J.  They exist, the end.  If you doubt the certification of all the C-130 sims, go look up the Sim Cert folks at Little Rock.  Certifying our sims to an FAA standard is literally their entire job.

    It's sim time.  Log it and keep track.  It doesn't count toward total time for civilian companies (though there may be a few exceptions).  Don't expect to get anything for it though RIGHT NOW.  Realize that at the drop of a hat the FAA or some airline you might fly for in the future may want to see that sim training, or even count it towards some time counter they track.  The civil aviation career field is known to be ossified and immovable...right up until it changes over night.  Be ready.

    Long view: It's professional training you've accomplished.  Keep track of it in your own logbook.  If you don't have a personal consolidated logbook (all civil, UPT, mil flying) start one.  You're a professional and that is your professional resume and professional journal.  I've met more than enough airline pilots who stopped logging their own hours when they got hired at their "forever" airline, only to be shocked years later when they needed to find a new flying job and had to scramble to make sense of the 'flight log' that their company kept.

    Pro Tips: DO NOT TRUST USAF HARMS RECORDS TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR FLYING  Keep your own logbook.  Also, yes it will be years before your log PIC time.  That's normal.  Don't fudge those numbers to make it look like you've got turbine PIC before you should.  Airline hiring shops see right through those tricks.

    There you go. If it’s a legit FAA blessed sim, track it!

    Biden was yelling because he was amped on whatever medication he was on…seriously, look at how he talks most times, he sounds like he’s almost half dead and yet last night a lot different.

    Even when ALL The current satellites are blasted into a cloud of debris …. Space is still a surprisingly empty place. Even in orbit. Even with everything turning into garbage. 
     

    it’s not an insurmountable problem to solve. Satellite debris won’t be so thick it blocks out the sun. 
     

    it’s meh overall

    Just dont spend your dough sports games that support this nonsense.  The NFL, MLB, NBA and the like need fans more than we need them. 

    I watched some of the 69ers vs the Queefs last night.. it's more of a spectacle than a sporting event.   I don't know how people can follow that garbage.    

    69’ers and queefs have been at odds FOREVER!  It’s a very bitter rivalry.

    CH,

    I agree with you. Except that the bump to my pay would be only about $1900, since it's a percentage of base pay... so even less enticing, since an extra 15 days of airline work will cover that. 
     

    If the airline world falls apart, they may get some takers. But otherwise, no. 

    To be clear … an extra 15 days or so at the airline will cover the $1900 a month bump…for the entire year. 
     

    assuming you’re working those 15 days at straight pay

    Wasn't even an exit row.  Apparently it could be configured as an exit row, but it was not an emergency exit door as that particular airplane was equipped.

    Structurally it’s still a door. 
    it just has a plug in it vs a door with hinges and such.
