  1. Being the grumpy old guy can be a hell of a lot of fun, too!
  2. Bravo ..... from waaaay back!
  3. I start to get sore and floppy after about 3
  4. Clearly Florida is where it's at. All the outdoor goodness, cheap, and none of that fancy book learnin
  5. And back then, you didn't have to use it for a car....but if your MPA was low you were ineligible for the loan. Genius!
  6. The one hole in your long post is that without the pilot/flying/operations side of the Air Force, there is no Air Force ....regardless of how good capt snuffy is at leading his 200 CE troops or running an mpf. If there's no tip of the spear left, then all you have is a shaft.
  7. Turn the news off, go outside, and do something manly. If something newsworthy happens, it will show up in cartoons or you will be called to deploy. Being "hyper informed" and wringing your hands on the Internet will not change the course of events.
  8. Someone quipped earlier that the CEOs didn't actually show up and sent emissaries. Please tell me that's true. Anyone have a list of actual attendees?
  9. The reasons you're allowed to extend are kind of limited. But if you have a nice relationship with your local Tmo clowns ....
  10. There's no overt multiplier at delta (like there is at southwest)
  11. That's some inception layered onion shit right there. Prolly a high school dropout working at 7-11.
  12. No no. It was a large group of idiots working in short bursts of ignorance to fuck things up.
  13. Yup. And I don't know that it's been definitively answered one way or another for vplad. But I'd be damn sure before I risked 3 years of seniority or more.
  14. This isn't an AGR "mobilization". This is volunteering to go back to active duty. I would definitely find out (in writing) from both the usaf and your airline employer if you'll still have a seniority number on the back side of it.
  15. This attitude is why earned retirement benefits (not entitlements) have eroded over the last few decades. A little bite here, a little bite there. Before you know it, you're paying for that free healthcare for life .... etc.
  16. Maybe my terminology is off. But as in it's not a mobilization or temporary thing. It's full time active duty. So you won't keep your foot in the door at an airline.
  17. I'll gladly support trimming some military earned benefits (not entitlements thanks) when I start seeing other unearned entitlements (welfare) in society getting trimmed as well.
  18. Think the adscs will go away once you have to pay in? Doubtful.
  19. A - "crippling" pilot stortage B - VPLAD .... Y - stop loss Z - profit break the chain! Read up on the details ... likely not USERRA protected (kiss that line number goodbye) and no guarantee to return to your guard unit. There are probably several other unsavory factors, but that's just what the porch is acknowledging, and they don't even run the program
