Wonder if that’s a misprint or if they’re just more willing than most fighter units to submit age waiver requests? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if that’s a misprint or if they’re just more willing than most fighter units to submit age waiver requests? Yesterday, it said age 29. So they definitely intentionally updated it to reflect the new age waiver standards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, maybe went a little too strong on not betting any money on ANY future ones...but I'd still go with not many more. Point being, the wannabees should focus on other aircraft...IMHO. For those interested in some light reading, I point you to the latest AF Budget document. See page 50. It shows you what the AF wants to have each fleet size at in by the end of FY21. Notice how the B-1 #'s drop? Even if you don't want to consider that tid bit of info. Feel free to look up B-1 mission cape rates these days. I imagine the average Reserve B-1 pilot doesn't fly that much. Just FWIW for those youngins out there with big dreams. https://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/Portals/84/documents/FY21/SUPPORT_/FY21 Budget Overview_1.pdf?ver=2020-02-10-152806-743 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is on the retirement chopping block. Not a done deal but I wouldn't go to Vegas or even Atlantic City and put any money on any future new Reserve A-10 pilots. Honestly, it pains me to say it but the 2015 A-10 talk is getting stronger as we head towards FY21. See page 50 of the FY21 AF budget...ANG and AFRC A-10 numbers taking a hit. I'm a huge fan of the A-10 and got to control four of them once as they lit up a target tank column on the Barry Goldwater Range in AZ. Definite loss for the TACP. https://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/Portals/84/documents/FY21/SUPPORT_/FY21 Budget Overview_1.pdf?ver=2020-02-10-152806-743 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CavGuy 39 Posted February 14 Did anybody "rush" Portland in the past months? If so, what was the vibe like? Do they put high emphasis on rushing in order to get a slot? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I went to Portland back in December. It was hard to get a gauge on how important it was honestly because most of the squadron was gone doing training, but the guys I did meet were way cool. I definitely got a Portland-esque vibe though - kind of a big city tempo mixed with a simultaneously laid back kind of feel to it, but while still maintaining their readiness and taking the job seriously. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATX51 3 Posted February 15 Silly question about 457th FW: their website says that they do not allow new hires to attend unit functions. I assume this means drill weekends? I am in the Texas Guard and would like to meet these guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarheelaviator 46 Posted February 15 Haven't heard anything back from Oregon yet but best of luck to everybody. Also if yall are applying to the 121st FS (DC Guard) make sure to get your applications in by 2/29. They moved their deadline up from 3/31 and they require a longer application package than most places. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1nfrequentF1yer 17 Posted February 16 I’ve heard nothing, and thinking of giving a call tomorrow to see where they’re at or if it’s a sign to move on 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CavGuy 39 Posted February 16 I could be wrong, but I think they'd probably call everyone who got an interview within a day or two of each other to give people time to start making plans to come up there. Again, hoping to be wrong! Did anybody interview in Phoenix a week or so ago? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
