In the defense of industry though the pay is generally higher all around. You don't need to be *as reactive* with these things when you're paying people on par with their skill set to begin with. I also think a major problem for the DoD at the moment is the moral injury left by the defeat in GWOT. When you rely on "service to your country" as a significant portion of your compensation package but then fail to deliver ends in that nature you're going to have a whole generation of young people saying "couldnt I do more good for the world somewhere else?" And the problem is.... right now, they absolutely can.

On a UPT Nav cross country, Jan 1987. We parked our T-38 next to the “Texas Raider” a few older gents came by asking for a tour of the -38, and then reciprocated and let us wander around inside the Texas Raider. They even let me climb up on the wing to take this photo. RIP

Then Douche generals like Goldfien will sit you behind a desk for 15 of your 20 because you are a volunteer.

“I’m gonna get to fly Jets right?” Let’s just admit the only difference better the 20 year old versions of ourselves and others who decided to trade it in for something is the type of couch we were sitting on when we “agreed to it.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lead, you're on fire

Yeap. 1st Half awesome. 2nd not so much. But we're playing with a young team. Our team should be better in 2026. Anyways, we have a lot of talent. More than I've ever seen on the USMNT.

There is currently no shortage of eligible candidates who want to attend pilot training and incur the current ADSC.

They already are, but no one is around to notice!!

Well...neither are any other employers within our career field, if we're being completely intellectually honest about it. In fact, I'm not sure any career other than finance or corporate senior execs are coming close, but I am standing by for correction.

Aside from the two guys who sued DAL, and a host of 10% true stories, I’d say this is inaccurate, at least in the last several years. DAL doesn’t give a shit about MLOA stuff just as much as the next guy. Anyone who does catch actual flak from any of the big companies is likely doing egregiously shady shit. I think literally every “non-friendly to MLOA” story I’ve heard about any airline is complete bullshit. Job-hunting guys out there should factor this subject exactly 0% in their decision-making process.

Thank you for that offer. The advertising covers the cost of the server, domain name, and now the SSL. I was doing certificates myself, but it was time consuming and when life was too busy (like the last few days), I kept dropping it out of my crosscheck. I've added automated certificate management and it shouldn't happen again.

It's fixed and will be forever now.

Even frontier can match the AF…

Trump’s political window has ended. The 2016 campaign was unique, because Hilary was despised by many more than him. Since his first term, and the years since then, the voters he needs (youth and suburban moms) will not vote for Trump. It benefits no one, besides his ego, to keep him in the conversation. His schtick has gotten old and tired. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

It’s not too often that Prozac and I agree on things, so when it happens, it’s worth mentioning.

Flea, your concerns and logic are why the USA no longer wins wars. If we want to win, we must stop thinking about what we can’t do and stop pitting our lawyers against our tacticians.
