  1. Anyone know the Laughlin drop for 17-08 38s?
  2. What turned a lot of guys in my class off of fighters were the fighter pilots that we did have in phase II.
  3. I heard the F-16 pipeline is getting backed up with all the drops lately. Are other FTU's getting backed up as well?
  4. Maintenance, then weather and maintenance.
  5. Can you still be competitive for an airline job with a R-ATP?
  6. Does anyone know how much you actually fly in the B-2 community these days? I've heard that you rarely fly, but I don't know if that's in relation to just the B-2 or at all.
  7. Is it true that if you apply and don't get selected that it's your only shot at applying for a rated board in the future? A buddy of mine heard that and decided not to put in a package until he can raise his scores.
  8. Congrats to the guys who got picked up. I've been watching for the PSDM, but it looks like it still hasn't been released.
  9. Is the process pretty easy after graduation to take the test and get all the paperwork in order, schedule an appointment with the FSDO, etc? There's a guy offering to do all the legwork in Columbus for $250 as well as teach a class to help prepare for it, but we don't know how much is actually involved with it.
  10. Anyone know what the last ENJPPT class dropped? I heard there were 16 F-16s dropped.
  11. Hey guys, I know almost nothing about GoPros. I've just started looking into one to record some 38 flights and whatever my next plane is. Any recommendations on which one to get? Thanks.
  12. On this topic, are there any former CSO, current pilots I could chat a bit with about being late rated in your airframes? Thanks!
  13. I was there for the F-35 drop. It was insane. The video they did to introduce the 35 on screen was absolutely perfect with the lightning striking in the background. Congrats to that guy for having the chance to fly the plane. I still think it's a piece of garbage, but it is purty.
  14. That is one good looking plane. I really hope they'll be dropping without long wait times by next year.
  15. Nothing at all turned up when I searched for "kc-46" strangely enough. Has anyone heard anything about when they will be out and start dropping to UPT classes? Also are they replacing the 135 or the 10? I've always heard the 135 until recently. The argument was that the AF wants to shut down the kc-10 and flow those guys into the 46 since they're used to taking gas.
  16. I just talked to the FSDO and the answer got even more convoluted. He wasn't sure how exactly it would be interpreted. I have the same medical as any other military pilot, but it depends on who would be the one deciding the meaning if something happens. He recommended talking to an AME. I called one and he didn't know either. I think I would probably be ok, but it's not worth the risk of getting in trouble before UPT starts. I'll just side with being conservative and get a class 3. Thanks for the help everyone.
  17. I'll call the FSDO in the morning to see what he says and post his answer then. Thanks for all the replies.
  18. I'm just wanting to do some flying before UPT starts. ATP is wayyyyy down the road haha.
  19. I'm just going to play it safe and go get a class 3. I want to make sure I'm 100% covered in that area in case something does happen. $80 or whatever it costs is worth the peace of mind to me in case it's interpreted differently if the time happens to come when it matters.
