Do you work at Textron/own a bunch of stock there? Just curious because you make it a point to recommend the USAF buy their aircraft a lot.

Well if you've ever briefed/executed/debriefed with Italians you know exactly how it's gonna go.

What in the actual fuck...

A lot of anthem singers that didn't stick to their timing have caused many a "shitty flyover"

This is why I don't think it's more nuanced. Has he broken the law in relation to women in the military, no? Does he hold an opinion contrary to common Western values, yes. Your Mormon example is apples to oranges. I'm talking about a leader that holds beliefs contrary to common western values. In your example an individual wouldn't do the job, easy kill. I'm talking about a commander with a specific set of values that doesn't align with common Western beliefs.

What about allowing devout Muslims or Mormons in command positions? Both of those religions view women (and non-whites for Mormons) in a way that is contrary to modern western thinking. I don't think the DoD is barring followers of those faiths from leadership positions.

During a fam ride in the C model it's set to NORM the entire time.

Egress training is required and so is a pilot brief prior to step. This is a prime example why the seat sequencer is set the way that it is for fam flyers. Hopefully she didn't hurt anything more than her pride...

When it comes to washing ppl out I can understand doing due diligence. I'm more curious if the number of hooks in B-course/MQT are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same. I'm concerned the standards/CTS aren't being fully upheld because IPs feel bad for studs because they're getting shorted at UPT.

Are the B-course / Ops IPs on here that see the quality of pilots decreasing hooking more students (to include MQT rides), giving them extra rides, or kicking the can etc?

Yeah, you're not gonna live that down..
