Yes and no some the FAA has multiple definitions for PIC... Yes in the sense that you are the "sole manipulator of controls." No in the sense of "responsible for the overall safe conduct of the flight." If airlines are the goal, then only A-Code time should be logged as PIC.

Everyone likes to make fun of cyber but the effects that they bring to the fight these days are potent. Most of the discussion is not appropriate for this forum but rest assured cyber will play a huge role in the next major war.

Well, shit.

Yup, it’ll be the O-4 that completed his ACSC and took the bonus. The “Real Go Getter.”

It stands for Airline Manpower Delivery. They're really good at their job.

This belongs in the “What’s Wrong” thread. Yet again, another great reason to steer clear of ACSC so you’re not tagged for PowerPoint deployments as a “leader”....

While the process doesn't have to be as imperfect as the AF does it, it's not an easy process. One of my AFROTC instructors was a personnel type who was involved in creating the PRF and later changing from the OER to the OPR. He said they talked to all the Fortune 500 companies at the time to ask how they did performance eval and promotions. They answer they got back from all of them was basically, "If you figure it out, come back and let us know."

.... is an idiot. There. Fixed it. I’ve never had an engineer that wasn’t worth his weight in gold.

At least it's forcing some transparency.

If you enjoy watching other people talk about their planes from your €400 a night hotel room on a bed of per diem, the 709th at Dover is hurting for good dudes to fly the C-5. It’s all glass, modern (by Air Force standards) avionics, flys like a dream (I’m not making that up. It was nicer to hand fly than my current ride, the T-6.), and you have a flight engineer. Any pilot who hates on engineers must have had bad engineers, because all the ones I flew with had been working the C-5 for decades and were a huge source of knowledge anytime the plane shit the bed, which it does. It’s nice being able to just fly the airplane while someone else competent and qualified dealt with why the gear didn’t come down. Bottom line, it’s not tactical at all and is about as close to airline flying as the Air Force gets, but if that appeals to you, you enjoy a large flying crew, and you want to fly a celebrity everywhere and host mini air shows at every ramp you park on, do it!

I'm still in shock. I just got a call for an interview at the 177th ANG F-16 squadron in NJ. Good luck to everyone else who applied.

First open lesbian GO in the USAF who was one of the first women to fly the B-2 removed? Either failed a PT test or killed someone.

This is the flow SQ/CC WG/CC —palace Chase office confirms your eligible then sends it to your functional —functional send it to his boss —back to palace chase office who sends it to 06 in charge of Manning –06....either approved (if all previous approvals) or goes onto SAF/PC

They are called PSDs. They have a bunch of things and are the personnel guides that keep you from knowing their processes that conflict with AFIs. They are all on MyPers.
