I'd offer to grab a beer tonight but unfortunately my plane gets in super late. I think one other guy just got in as well. If anyone is around PM me for linkup.

goodflightcowboy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Well... they do it kinda weird. 2 primary and 2 alternate, but from what I understand, the 2 alternates almost always end up going to UPT due to a lack of pilots, if the unit can swing it. Don't ask me the particulars though, just repeating information I was told. To your question, one off the street and 3 enlisted, although the off-the-street guy was a primary, so there's that. I got the sense that they didn't care, because the interview was about 50/50, I think the enlisted just performed better in the interview itself, since they're so used to interacting with the pilots.

It’s not as bad as you think though. 2 minutes ago, admdelta said: What’s wrong with talking about the airlines, if I may ask? Objectively, nothing. But as I have quickly learned, fighters want you to literally be ready to kill someone to be a fighter guy, so saying anything other than “fighters” is wrong. I didn’t say I’d do airlines after I got there, I said if I didn’t get this board I’d end up working at the regionals while I continued applying, but in the interview debrief they said that was the kiss of death because it showed I wasn’t committed and didn’t exude the fighter mentality. Just now, BadGuySplash said: Oklahoma you have to live near the base, pretty sure minimal to none of the pilots have other jobs other than full time AGR, so they don't really want to hear about being part-time with airline, mostly because none of them do it and they want 100% committed guy in their squadron. This mostly pertains to OK though. Negative. Over half their pilots are airline guys. It was a “fighter guy” mentality issue, not a reality issue.

dotonfire Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks @Hopefulflyer389. I may be a bit of a difficult sell to big AF despite being sponsored. I'm not certain it's just a formality and my recruiter's not been the most communicative. I'm probably just overthinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
