If you are a single seat dude with no crew experience and have the money, I'd recommend it. Even though an airline training program will be easier than IFF, the B-Course, FLUG, and IPUG, for me, it was nice having an idea about 121 ops (flows, call outs, profiles, etc) before I had to do it for real. The best thing was it allowed me to test whether or not I wanted to fly airliners for the next 35 years. I did Higher Power back in 2012 and I have zero regrets about it. I was asked about it in my US Airways interview by the way. My answer - I wanted to experience a 121-type program since I had no crew experience. Every case and person is different.

Why 2 foregrips?

You'll pique the interest of the hiring boards if you don't bring your printed off flight records. I brought my big green folder and a 1 page summary and they asked no questions. By the way, on my summary page, I had my straight total and my total with the allowed .3/sortie added. Don't try to game it. You either have the min hours or not. There is less emphasis on hours for military guys.

Who are "they"?

Timing is everything. There is no justice. Better lucky than good.

I'm just too lazy to search through and confirm he asked the question. I believe it was him though. I like the fact that he comes and asks these questions on here. But I also question his motives and wonder if he is so out of touch that he just doesn't know relevant things to tell a group of his chosen ones.

Didn't Liquid just ask the same question, except it was for a pilot training graduation?

Class 3 toys are like heroin You've been warned!

I think Gash was sleeping with the Wing King. Hoss, can you verify?

It didn't muddle the merger.

What is a boots on the ramp policy? I've heard it before, but have no clue what it means...

Cold turkey right meow. Probably going to pick up a Reserve job this fall.

Different strokes for different folks bro. I've been a civilian for 8 months and I'm much happier. I make a lot less money, but that'll change.

Holy cow. Even I am offended by that!

That article pretty much sums up everything. I think my time here is done. It's been fun...and the airlines are hiring!

I've only heard good things about Lehigh. I've never used it personally. They have a kickass .300 Blackout round that a may pick up once my stamp come in from Uncle Sam.

This is fucking hilarious!

Make it short. They have better things to be doing.

Haha. Gina.

I know the rules. It's actually in Title 10 that if you are offered continuation and decline, you don't get Invol Sep pay. I'm more interested in what happened before the point I got passed over. I'd just like to talk to a lawyer, that's it. Anyone know?

I heard a rumor somewhere that the 157 who were non-continued a few years back won a law suit against the Air Force. Is that true? If so, does anyone know what law firm they used? I was separated with no involuntary sep pay (offered continuation) after being passed over after applying for VSP back in 2011. I'm out for blood now... Thanks!

Yes sir. You will be too.

Great leadership there. They need to force shape the clowns in charge of this. And Liquid while they're at it.

I went to the Zoo.

You keep telling yourself that as well. I've interviewed recently and many of the employers didn't bat an eye at my 2.99 in Engineering from the Academy. A few friends of mine were asked in almost every interview why they had below a 3.5 from the State University. It's not MIT, but it isn't your standard State University either. You want to bloat the Academy even more? Hire a bunch of "professors" that do "research" like at most schools. When looking for a place to do a real Master's, I looked at many syllabi and numerous school. The level of the courses were Sophomore or Jr level from what I saw at the Academy.
