  1. The biggest hurdle is the USAF coord. If not done yet, have the family call Dover AFB Mortuary Affairs (in Delaware) 302.677.3982 Option2 24/7 number: 302.677.2362

  3. Who knows? But the job is likely a long way from becoming reality. And with 400 hours, you have a LOT better job opportunities than that.
  4. At least she didn't go to Newark.
  5. I've never seen these guys before... but they sure didn't do their homework. That said, the AF will be lucky to get 50 pilots back.
  6. I did 2 laps on the Circuit of the Americas in an Aston Martin DB9... ... with an instructor watching me. But I'm now "a race car driver". So annoying.
  7. I spoke to an O-6 yesterday and he said about 40 had signed up. I asked if any were pilots and he said "yes". But that's about all I found out.
  8. Sure looks like it. My last inquiry to AFPC was in August, and here is their reply: "We are still waiting on OPM to make a decision and once we have that answer, we will know which way the program is going to go. Assuming they decide favorably, we will begin with an advertisement for the positions and start the selection process all over again. I would not expect to hear anything for the next few months at best. I am sorry this is taking so long but we are trying to reshape a portion of how pilot training is conducted in the Air Force and with a change that big there are always issues that need to be addressed."
  9. 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.
  10. I believe it will reset your base pay for retirement pay calculations. In my case, base pay has gone up $2800 since I retired in 2014 Most pilots considering this already know where they want to go. And if they don't get exactly that, they simply won't accept the orders. The FAQ says you can turn down a PCS. If you do, you are released from the VRRAD
  11. No one is happy after a merger... if it goes well. I can't speak for everyone... but I took it in the shorts with our seniority list integration. Oh well... move on and don't dwell on what you cannot control.
  12. I did the VRAAD from 2010-2014. Kind of a funny story.
  13. Well... if Pete Buttigieg is behind this, I have no doubt the data has been well researched. Seriously though... The "safety" data is there. Read it how you want. This is a political issue.
