    Both things you mentioned - TX slots are not plentiful, so what’s the incentive for a unit to (re)hire a guy who’s already by choice stopped flying once before? Especially considering there are likely several other great candidates for that TX slot who haven’t quit flying before and are probably currently flying some other aircraft (recency). That is clearly subjective, but put yourself in a unit’s shoes - you may be a great dude, but it’s still a pretty hard sell to pick you over the other guys (in this hypothetical).

    My hat looks the way it does precisely because it never leaves the pocket (or is on the floor during laundry). Actually couldn’t find it before the last 3 week TDY and went the whole time without it even in my pocket…proof a hat in the guard is pretty much unnecessary!

    That is convenient for you!

    I don't care about the free market as much as you think.
  6. Negatory
    I thought the free market was superior in efficiency to government control or centralized planning? I am learning a lot on this forum.

    Probably would be easier to take a non-flying job all together rather than going RPA. Probably easier on your chances of flying again.

    Yes. AI is a big deal. We don't want to come in second in the race for AI dominance. Edit: I don't think it's a big deal. I mean we have NASA for space exploration. AI and soon AGI will bring an insane amount of change to society. The kind of change that people will kill for.

    So is the gov seizing the means of production. Or is it?

    NBC is gay.

    What is the NBC comment for? https://www.wsj.com/tech/trump-to-announce-u-s-taking-nearly-10-stake-in-intel-1a38225d https://www.reuters.com/business/us-take-10-equity-stake-intel-trumps-latest-corporate-move-2025-08-22/ https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/technology/trump-intel-stake.html Just trying to understand you, comrade.

    Ahh okay. A friend of mine was telling me they had three out of three at Travis get picked up too, but idk what year it was. Regardless, we’ll see how it all plays out. Now we wait!

    Wait, your hats actually leave your desk or leg pocket?

    When I was a DO the CC had a spare hat to leave on his desk so people would think he was in the building.

    @brabus do you know what the barrier was? Was it getting hired or getting a spot in the whatever refresher course is required etc.

    Hat shenanigans. Ah, good times.

    TACO method in play again, this time by a CEO.
  20. StoleIt
    My old CC was so disgusted with my flight cap that he threw it out so I had to get a new one. 🤣

    Good luck everyone! When are you all expecting results?
  22. brabus
    My current hat has 3 holes, dirt/sweat stains, most of the silver “braid” is gone - as God intended.
  23. Biff_T
    I bet he insisted on completing SOS in correspondence and in person. As a Lt, I had a hat with tons of dirt on it next to a pack of Marlboro Reds in my car. Edit: If you put my hat in a pot of boiling water, you could've made a stew.

    NBC? Really man? It doesn't change what's written in the article. However, I look at AI as more of national defense item than a normal business. It's the new space race amigo. If we lose it, we're doomed.

    I know some guard dudes who went down that road - they never flew manned again, despite their best efforts to do so. Possible, yes, likely to work out, probably not. If you pursue a unit change and go RPA, do so being OK with never flying manned again.
  26. brabus
    What a turbo douche. Wow.
