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..

Bro, the hog dudes have some of the gucciest shit these days. They're running scorpion whilst the rest of us are using JHMCS or no HMCS (raptors) at all.

Quoted for hilarity.

You lost me, what's that in freedom units?

Did the general public know of the affairs during those two presidencies, no. Their indiscretions were well known in the media, especially Kennedy, and they were not held to a "higher moral standard." All three presidents were still greatly admired after their affairs became public knowledge. If you don't like the president example (because all three are Democrats I suppose) then let's use MLK. If the public is going to hold someone to a higher morale standard, it's going to be a preacher. However, no one cares he was an adulterer. Back to the original point, the American public doesn't hold someone to a higher bar due to their office/position. All you need to be is popular with a significant portion of the population and any transgressions can easily be forgotten. Speaking of forgotten...the "mentally impaired" portion of my previous quote is the major issue I have with octogenarians being in office...

Quality control is a plausible explanation why others arent able to duplicate in significant numbers. Maybe a part in the safety mechanism is prone to excessive wear leading to failure. Either way, if this is a failure of Sig they need to be held accountable.

The ol' "could not duplicate". Nothing more comforting than taking a previous code 3 jet with CND in the forms..

I think both parties are generally full of idiots actually. There's far to many people like you and Bashi in office on both sides. I hope for the best like most Americans who want the country to do well, not only when their team is in charge.

You clearly want Trump to be guilty of anything that can stick. Are you NSAplayer's side account? BTW, since when does America hold the president to a higher moral standard? Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton...all adulterers that didn't do a good job of hiding it, and all would have been re-elected if it weren't for death or term limits. Not that this is pertinent, but that statement is ignorant at best. I have zero desire for a pedophile to be in charge of our country, just like I didn't want a mentally impaired octogenarian in charge. The difference is myself and others on here don't hope for the worst because we don't like the party the current president represents.

Are you sure you're a herk dude? All the herk dudes I've known weren't BALBA's...🤔

There is a search function believe it or not..

Good luck trying to get strike eagle B-course dates anytime soon... What a shame.

If we're going to look at unconventional capabilities I'd rather we spend money on something like turning their electricity off indefinitely over finger banging with some boat planes.

Where have I heard this thinking before...

Weak*

Well it's a good thing the ppl ratner references are too fat, lazy, old, or liberal to take up arms...

What kind of ff'd up AI made this? "Globemaster the Third" lol

Nice way to fix the pilot shortage. Contract everything except 1x SQ of T-7s at each base (except SPS), cut the training so they graduate sooner, and if there are accidents just blame the contractors.

Speaking of tin foil hats.. If Fordow was a primary target, then what was Israel's gameplan? Did they have assurances we'd bring the hammer once they did the heavy lifting? I doubt they just assumed DJT would do it without a discussion. Or is Fordow just not that big of a deal?

We could waste billions on resurrecting a 50s era aircraft like the WB-57 for C2... or we could use... space..
