    Crowdsource Advice. // Airline hopeful with sufficient hours, resume bullets, and recommendations. Currently deployed to 6-month non-flying gig, 20.5Y Time in Service, and retirement-eligible 4 months after return. OpsTempo and comm issues severely limit access to Apps and Interview Prep. // Thoughts on redeployment: (1) Punch ASAP. Autonomy, but limited recency and rush through VA-Retirement admin, (2) Remain another 6 months. Potential line flying (Qualified, Non-Current) but unsure how Home Station will address return on investment, i.e. fear of “you’re dead to us” message. (3) Remain another year. More flying, but farther from an interview. // Thanks in advance for your insight and points of view!

    Find a way to get your apps in …

    Pretty cool....a great analysis if you had a half hour to sort it out....

    I think the root difference you may not understand is that most folks here don’t consider POSSESSION of a weapon to be a direct threat.

    alright for the brain trust...WWYD...stay at DAL (1st year) and commute (living in DFW)

    or

    go to AA and eventually live in base at DFW?

    good problems to have!

    Move to a delta base or commute.

    May be a simplification but, I don't think Australia has the same zealous independence attitude the U.S. has since we were founded on giving dual middle fingers to the Crown then raised our muskets. Australia to my knowledge has never had that.

    BIGGER REASON: Australian law enforcement is not local. I think it's entirely federalized, or by province/state (whatever they call 'em). BUT, even if they were province/state police, those geographic areas are MASSIVE, not like our States here. The point is, in the U.S. the people are the police and the police are the people. Local and state officers know the locals and the business owners. Many officers probably grew up in the area. Even state law enforcement will most likely have a cultural tie to the state or chose to be stationed in an area they're familiar with if they are not out of state applicants. These cops don't want to shut down the business of someone they know over some joke of an excuse for government tyranny. These are real people, and the cops know their lives and the impact such tyranny will have. In Australia can the same be said? Some officer in Sydney gets on with the police force and is told to enforce "safety" measures 2,000 kilometers away in his new precinct/jurisdiction? He will have no idea who the people are there he's enforcing on and won't care.

    Meh. 
     

    how long does it take you to assimilate to the local area when you pcs?  A year?  6 months?  
     

    not necessary to have deep longstanding local roots to be part of the community.

    No the argument is mute.  A dilemma for a MD to choose between a vaxed or un-vaxed patient?  If that is a true scenario the vax has failed.

    We are being told that 99% of all patients are un-vaxed.  Israel is hte most vaxed population on earth but pushing a booster now?  

    The US is about 50-60% vaxed now not factoring in hte under age 12 group.  So a huge chunk of hte population has the needle.  Therefore the pool of ppl to be infected should be pretty small at this point.  Considering 60% would show no symptoms, 28% would be mild and 12% would need hospitalization.  

    This is why some ppl are questioning the shot in the first place.

    Moot.

  6. Turn off the electronics and go outside.  Meet people in your community. Join real live in person activity groups like rotary. Try a hobby. 
     

    all of these are good.

    I've heard to put your apps in one year out from your projected availability date. 

    Any harm in submitting them a few months earlier than that?

    Nope. 
     

    Realize getting your app to the 69% level is pretty quick. Getting it polished to the 95% level can take a while. Took me 6 months.

    Stop reading the news and Google medical research articles and case studies.  These are written by people getting paid trying to better the world with their medical research vs getting paid to invoke some sort of reaction out of certain groups or support certain political parties.

    Getting paid by whom?

  9. Their f-16 pilots are pretty good and focus on fairly complex air-to-air tactics.  The line guys, at least, will have their fangs out. Don’t know about the politicians ….

  10. 1 leg commutes generally aren’t too bad. 
     

    if you can sit long call reserve at home, even better. 
     

    delta has positive space for commuting at the moment (you have a ticket and a seat). Runs thru sep 2022 I think … May be permanent. May not be.

    Any chance you could put a screenshot here for those of us that are without FB accounts?

    If you’re interested in an airline job in general, and a delta job specifically, I’d get on the book face. Lots of information swirls around there amongst the chaff.
