  1. Original post deleted. There's a lot about T-38 TOLD that ACC seems to not understand.
  2. To continue the tangent, and since many of you fly the T-38... T-38A TOLD in ACC is bad, and unsafe. I fought with them to change abort speeds and finally ACC gave up and said "do whatever your Wing wants". A further deep dive shows just how wrong the abort assumptions are.
  3. As a general rule, I avoid flying an airline that is based in a country where I can't drink the tap water. LATAM FO hiring requirements: Be at least 20 years old. Have a Commercial Pilot License or PCA. Have 150 flight hours or more. Have ICAO English Level 4 or higher. Have a current Medical Certificate. Have an IFR qualification. Have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months. Have a B1/B2 Visa for the United States.
  4. There are civilians flying military aircraft. Some are civil servants. Some are contractors. They, obviously, keep their retirement pay They do not have USERRA protection.
  5. I certainly hope so. Throwing away $10B in jets of that caliber does not pass the sniff check.
  6. 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

  8. 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.
  9. At least she didn't go to Newark.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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."
