Some of you are quick to give up rights. Here's the problem: once they're gone, you'll never get it back. The Second Amendment protects our right to bear arms just like the First Amendment protects our right to free speech (Congress shall make no law). It's not a negotiable document. As stated above, we have a violence problem and a mental health problem in this country. Making law abiding citizens into criminals won't solve that. Punishing the millions of law abiding gun owners because of the acts of a few psychopaths won't solve that either. Whether you agree with it or not, the Second Amendment was designed to defend the First Amendment. We are absolutely intended to be as well armed as the military because the founders wanted the government to fear the people and not the other way around. We've already given up enough (NFA, etc). Now is not the time to give up because of one horrific incident. It's a very slippery slope.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

You'll lose. Automatics are illegal. Grenades. We need to do better than arguing the old men who wrote the 2nd amendment surely would have been cool with what happened in Vegas. Automatics are not illegal and neither are grenades. Why would using the Second Amendment cause me to lose? Do you support the Constitution or not?- WTF? (**NSFW**)

All of them are. VFA-204 is the only Navy Reserve squadron that pretends to still have a "strategic reserve" posture. VFC-12, VFC-13, and VFC-111 are all adversary-only and Navy Reserve. With Legacy Hornets, VFC12 and VFA-204 struggle to provide enough flyable aircraft and usually have to rely on each other to supplement support detachments. NAWDC is active duty and does Top Gun support, but they are not an adversary squadron per se.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/military/100650-cbp-aia-new-thread.html There are also other threads on it and some info on other boards out there. But that seems most relevant and recent.- Customs and Border Protection Air Interdiction Agent
Not just the money. There's a lot of info out there on a terrible culture problem in CBP Air that's just as bad if not worse than DOD Aviation right now. Cool mission with some badass opportunities, but you're absolutely right. They're going to need to fix their pay, locations, and culture if they want any shot at drawing dudes away from the airlines or even full time ARC jobs. If they hadn't gone full retard for 8 years hiring rotary wing or dual-rated only, they might not be in this mess. Although in all fairness to the money argument, you need to add LEAP in that comparison. It's still not even close.- Customs and Border Protection Air Interdiction Agent
Any chance of getting a decent location, or is it still just West Texas or Arizona? (Hammond, perhaps?)- What's wrong with the Air Force?

Is it retro like the last one? Will I get my tax stamp money back?- "We're not training commercial pilots."
And as an added bonus, the strippers make excellent ex-wives for you to bitch about to your FOs as they take half your $300k/yr paycheck.- "We're not training commercial pilots."
This. Airline flying is just the motherhood. 95% is just busy work and dealing with the other assholes in the airplane, 5% is actual flying. And that's why people love it so much. It's an easy job for a good paycheck.- LA ANG is hiring!
Nothing. In the spirit of the mass exodus to the airlines, it's the standard interview attire for Delta wannabes. - NFL Ratings are Way Down
