I think Chang needs to reveal himself upon retirement. Until then, keep enjoying the guessing game. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
I also never had any desire to be an airline pilot. But when it came time to retire, I realized I had a skill set that the airlines wanted to pay pretty decent money to utilize. And it ain’t just about the money. My life is much happier now without all of the bs while I served. I had a great 29 years but I now realize that life is much better on the outside. I really love my retirement career. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
When I was a SQ/CC, the WG/CC pressured us to put members who were overdue on their cards in a deployed status so the wing wouldn’t lose its cash from the cc company. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
During my RPA stint, I felt more like a system operator than a pilot. There were very few times I felt like I was piloting something. It made me miss the hell out of manned flying which I eventually returned to. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
I don’t know, that’s giving them lots of credit. Most non flyers have no idea what plane is flown at their base. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
Mainly in jest but it did feel like they wanted us to look over here while something over there is happening. Kinda like a magician using slight of hand. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
Keep the tradition alive and bring one. Give it to the person that greets/hosts you when you get there. Keep it simple. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
I never heard any real discussions on “DNIF coverage” over my 29 yrs in the ANG. If someone went DNIF, someone else would, as you said, fill in or a canx. Of the 3 units I was in, only 1 had a commute distance requirement and that was due to the alert mission. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
The unit I retired from has a 1 hr commute distance for crew, and it has nothing to do with DNIF coverage. It allows alert to be pulled at home. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
I was Aeromedical Evacuation when I was enlisted a long time ago. When we had head injuries on board, we would request the lowest possible cabin altitude from the flight crew. BigRed is correct in that it has to do with intercranial pressures. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
