  1. @HuggyU2 The -1 performance data is bad, or ACC’s “gonkulator” TOLD is bad? Assuming something of the latter nature, is ACC literally ignoring the problem when shown T.O. guidance is different than MAJCOM guidance? No skin in the game, but I’m really curious now.
  2. In case anyone wants to know what @Biff_T was up to you while you were banging out wing standup slides… FullSizeRender.MOV
  3. Guard bonus is out (now called EARI instead of AvB…OPR bullet!) Looks the same as last year at a quick glance.
  4. Make mail-in voting illegal in all 50 states and require state-issued ID to vote. That should have happened yesterday and would solve the issue helodude is talking about. However, still doesn’t address the IO campaign the DNC and media/tech are leveraging. Admittedly the RNC would do the same thing if they weren’t so inept and fragmented (and actually had media/tech on their side), so this isn’t a partisan statement, it’s just stating the current situation.
  5. Was the 2020 election “stolen?” No, I don’t think so as there is no evidence of large scale, impactful voter fraud. But was it substantially skewed towards one candidate through a concerted effort at the fed and state level in collusion with media companies and big tech, fuck yeah it was. And that to me is just as big of a problem as “direct” voter fraud.
  6. All about it, but I’m sure they’re not resourced for standard O&Bs to CO, UT, NV, etc. The XC is probably the only realistic opportunity. But I’m not a UPT guy, so just speculating.
  7. Sure, in a perfect world with tons of resources. But really high DA is more a flight planning emphasis than execution. In the end, while speeds are higher and distances are longer, pulling back on the stick at the correct speed and confirming positive rate of climb prior to moving the gear handle are the same actions regardless of DA. Edit: And maybe I’m just old now, but young guys, you are not cool for getting the gear up as low as possible. Don’t be an idiot and shine your ass trying to “max perform” your takeoff.
  8. The guy said Fox3?! Wow, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve worked with some awesome 64 guys, but I also have been surprised at some of the mouth breathers flying them.
  9. Oh he did wrong - rotated at 120 because that’s the arbitrary technique he picked up somewhere, with zero regard for actual rotate speed (in this case 136 on card, 143 actual conditions). He also raised the gear 1 sec after perceived takeoff. Both of those actions are completely wrong and if he ever had an IP tell him either, that guy deserved to have his IP qual taken away. This was more than a simple error on the lineup card. @BashiChuni It’s almost like you should confirm sustained, positive climb rate before raising the gear in any aircraft. Basic pilot shit…that i assume is still taught at UPT these days, or at least I hope so.
  10. I know several dudes who’s wives were living in Korea, but they were claiming BAH back in the states. Nobody went to jail at least, but they got very lucky with good leadership at the time.
  11. Well if we’re counting UAS as shoot downs, guess I’m damn near an ace! (/sarcasm)
  12. The CEO should have been out yesterday, why does he get until 31 Dec!
  13. There are various grants and loan options. IMO, it’s better to get your finances prepped so you can afford to be consistent (2-3x week ideally) vs. “pay cash” as you’re able (i.e. very inconsistent if you don’t have high income). The loan will be worth it. Also the reserves may offer some options, so look into that.
  14. Me the first time taxing at ORD:
  15. Either you misunderstood or they gave you horrible advice. Good on you for asking, it was not a dumb question. As mentioned above, watch out for common “make an extra buck” scams like cinder blocks in a trailer, moving an extra car in a trailer and claiming that as HHG weight, etc. There’s a lot of “tricks” out there that people claim is no big deal, but will actually screw you very badly if caught. Never worth it.
