Guest rotor_head Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hello to all, I'm trying to find a contact at one or both C-130 units there at the JRB. I'm looking to transfer my Army wings over to Air Force and get an AQC slot. If anyone knows an Operations officer or good POC i would appreciate the help. I'm trying to get back to the Ft Worth area from Florida. Thanks in Advance shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not have POC, though. I think herkderka is in the unit, he may know something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XJT-FO Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The application deadline was 1 Sept 08. I just got the call yesterday and will be interviewing next week. Anybody else going to be there? Also, do any of you guys know specifics about the unit that might be helpful to know? Thanks, XJT-FO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not with the unit, but will be applying next year and live in the area. PM me if you want to grab a beer next week and we'll talk about it. Dontshavemyhead, the same goes for you.

Guest XJT-FO Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well I'm qualified enough to interview. I'll take that for FWIW. I'll give it a go and see what happens. I can be honest and say that it's not the best of weeks for me So I'll just try the best I can for the circumstances at hand... I live in Houston and have been flying for the past 6 days. I timed out for the week and am stranded in Newark until tomorrow, when IAH opens back up. I have no idea if my apartment is in tact or my car survived in the employee lot. DAMN YOU IKE! Oh, anybody know how many slots are they trying to fill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STLCFII Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I hate flying into Houston... Below is the normal way things work down there.... Conditions around Houston, TX: Bad weather within 400 miles, visibility under 5 miles, ceiling less than 3000 ft..... IAH: CLOSED HOU: OPEN! I had to go missed the other week because I was within 5 miles of the guy in front of me!!! 5 MILES!! That was with 10 miles and 3000 scattered... Then we got yelled at for not slowing to final outside the marker even though they told us to maintain 220. I actually asked for the tower's phone number!! (had to be a first) Ridiculous operation down there... With the hurricane I can only imagine that IAH will be closed for about 2 weeks longer than HOU.

Guest XJT-FO Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 How did the interviews go? That's a great question! I got a call on Monday asking if I could make an interview on Thursday. I live in Houston, which was messed up by Ike and they wanted to know if it would even be possible for me to make it there. (Just got power and water back yesterday). I said I could be there because all I have to do is jumpseat up there and be on my way. I imagine that the interviews didnt happen because I never recieved the email stating specifics about their interviews. So.. Stay tuned! I will update if I hear anything else. I hope I didnt miss it all together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email didn't get to me either so I called and they had to give me directions to the unit, being from out of town, etc. Great group of people up there and the most laid back interview Ive had yet. They said it would be a while before they let everyone know who was selected. 1 prim 1 alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh, yeah, you might want to follow up on that. I know DD says "it'll be a few months," but if it were me I would have checked in by now. But I heard that they selected a chick who worked for Lockheed and that #1 and #2 alternates were enlisted dudes in the unit.

I talked to the girl from Lockheed while we were waiting to interview. She was really cool, so not surprised she got the slot. Excellent choice on their part. Thanks for the info!

Young Crow Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Anyone have a nav POC for this unit? I see they've extended out the deadline for a traditional nav, and am curious to see if they're willing to take non C-130 guys and send them through init qual.
