Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
kaputt replied to LookieRookie's topic in General Discussion
Generals who have probably never set foot in a GA aircraft, telling us what a good thing it is putting the Air Force’s future in the hands of a GA training pipeline, is hilarious to me. I’m not anti GA either; in fact I’m very active in the local GA scene. But GA flying, even the pilot mill schools, is a completely different culture and set up. -
That’s fucking hilarious when the current immigration problem was largely caused by a far left political movement that believed that importing as many dark sinned people as possible was the ticket to winning elections. Because apparently skin color has everything to do with how you vote. Now tell me who’s racist? By the way, pulling the “you’re racist” card is the most clear way to know the person you’re arguing with is not someone worth spending time on.

Oh look, another violent riot from the left.

It’s a fascinating shift in American politics to see what is essentially “old school” 1990s Democrat policies - union supportive protectionist tariffs, tax hikes on the wealthy - be simultaneously despised by those who call themselves democrats and embraced by those who call themselves conservative. Interesting times.

The tit for tat is kind of funny to me. Neither side is upholding any sort of standard. The left is completely out to lunch with its wild progressivism and violent activism. And the Republican Party, with Trump, now somehow whole heartedly supports policies that would have incensed “conservatives” not all that long ago. Sweeping tariffs, large spending bills, now we want to pay people $5000 per baby they have? To me, the Trump years will go down as one of the biggest wasted opportunities to have center right leadership in this country.

That’s a FlexJet aircraft.

This is why American corporations going the DEI route was so poisonous. They planted the seeds for the general public to not trust who they are putting in the front of airplanes by openly stating they would prioritize immutable characteristics as part of their hiring practices. The crazy speculation and blow back you’re seeing on social media is a direct fault of their choices and actions in the post 2020 world. It will take a long time to reverse the distrust; and it may never go away since so many out there still worship at the altar of DEI.

They are very lucky that whole thing didn’t go up in flames when the wing broke off.

I don’t fly anything with fancy glass in the GA world. But a Stratus providing ADSB in to ForeFlight on an iPad is tremendous SA. Not only do I get the targets like above, but it has their exact altitude readout and callsign and/or tail number. The last part is the real life saver, as I can hear what ATC is calling them and it’s so much easier to make sure you’re looking at the right target. Does Garmin not have the ability to show the extra data like callsign?

I’d love to see age 67 get approved with the caveat that they all have to go be regional FOs for those last two years. If they really think it’s an experience problem, what better way to help to go sling gear for a 29 year old CRJ captain!

What a friggin nerd. Also that’s the same logic the Army used to can flight suits for pilots back in the day.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with how incredibly dumb some people are to be falling for this shit.

I don’t have AOC derangement syndrome, though I do think she should stick to bartending. But I saw the video and it looks pretty close to a Hitler move. If a bunch of us did that at work tomorrow we’d probably be out of a job, even if we did say “we won’t relent” with the gesture. She should know better, unless of course she did it intentionally. ————— Turns out that take sounds just as dumb the other way too.

People are so fucking dumb. Elon is quite obviously throwing his heart to the crowd. He literally says “my heart goes out to you”. Of course most of the people losing their minds over this have only seen a 3 sec gif of it on Reddit.

Great, June. Where the hell were they in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and half of 2024?

12 teams was a stupid idea. Should’ve just done 8.

My company sent a mass email with a direct tip line to the FBI to report drone sightings, with a special emphasis on the NYC airspace. 🤷🏼♂️ My thought though is how much of this is a self fulfilling prophecy where the same clowns that shine laser pointers at aircraft are now going out and buying drones and sending them up in the sky to really ramp up the hysteria?

Yeah, someone isn’t telling the truth and it could be either one of them.

Should they have forced him to step aside after he won the primary and replaced him with someone who no one voted for?

I’m very happy that Kamala Harris will not be president. Not pumped it’s Trump again, and I even voted in a primary for the first time in my life to try to make that not be the case, but here we are. Since Trump became the nominee I waffled between going third party, not voting, or voting for him. Turns out the third party candidates were awful, not voting seemed kind of pointless, and frankly voting for him was better than any of the insanity still coming from the left these days. With Trump winning the popular vote and his gains in dark blue areas, I think there were a lot of voters like me out there. The win is not necessarily a ringing endorsement of Trump, but more a rejection of Harris/Biden and the disaster of the last 4 years. I hope Trump governs sensibly, we see a great 4 years, and he sets the table for a quality center/right candidate from the R side that the country can rally around in 2028. I’ll be very interested to see how the Dems respond to this. Do they try and claw back to the center or do they continue on their batshit social ideas and TDS binge?

LOL

The tolerant left strikes again.

This is what happens when she can’t get the questions ahead of time.

ACC HQ rigs another one for Miami. Clear targeting, textbook in fact, goes to review, uncalled. Miami gets the ball back and goes down and scores.
