    The new airline thread

    in Squadron Bar

    Posted

    Just a little training this week at the MIA puzzle palace, been a chill month. Next month it’s 4 GSP-HHN runs, MIA-ICN, ICN-DEL-ICN, ICN-HKG-ANC, etc. Normally don’t beat myself up like this but harvest while you can, lay low while you cannot. Hopefully CDC levels maintain although I’m sure changes will arise.


    Did an RFD-ICN last night-14.5 hrs. Then the MIA-ICN this weekend. Yep, take it while you can.

    Speaking of which, the MIA to ICN is over 16hrs so the 25% override is ok, but maybe not worth it as we are spoiled having additional 75% extra on top thanks to the cdc… time limited of course but harvest it when the going is good. I suspect before this fall/peak, company will offset the hemorrhaging with hopefully some substantial consistent cheddar. See you on the road, unless you go to greener pastures that meet your needs.


    I do that run later this week. But have to run thru PVG before heading south.

    Hay-sus Krist, this 'thing' won't die...
    Multiple political outlets have reported on the Clintons spooling up their "Clinton Global Initiative" machinery again.
    You know, that multi-hundreds of millions of dollars in donations for access to then-Senator, later SecState, later presumed POTUS heir apparent.  When she crashed and burned in 2016, donations went down from the 10s of millions per year in, largely, foreign money - Russia/Saudi/Pakistan, etc - to the thousands.
    Now, the old band is getting back together.
    She's gonna try again.

    This is why I so dearly my cargo gig. I land at ICN, and they say “follow the greens.”

    Wait…scratch that, cuz then I go to anywhere in China, which is like O’Hare…in mandarin.


    I wish every airport had “Follow The Greens”.

    Landed in PVG yesterday and lucked out and got the landing on 17R. I think it was because we came from BKK instead of ICN. Typically feels like your taxiing across China.

    What about all of the million dollar TV ads USAA puts on during college football season...
     
     you know, an ad saying, “we are only for the military, but thanks for letting us spend millions to tell everyone that”
     
     


    Another reason I left them a few years ago

    OCONUS Leave While Mobilized

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    Posted

    I'll be on a mob for the first time second-half of FY22 (1 Apr - 30 Sep) and I'm looking for an official reference one way or the other on if I can take OCONUS leave. I'm an RPA pilot so the "mobilization" is at our home station flying our normal combat line, so no change in location/mission/etc. from the normal federal MPA orders we work all the time. I had initially thought it'd be no different than taking leave while on federal orders any other time, but other folks have raised their eyebrows and said to try to find out for sure. Looking to have a solid reg to point to before I either book expensive tickets to Europe or rolex the family vacation to another time.
    Thanks in advance for the help! All the small wrinkles and permutations in the Guard are vast and mysterious, and even 7 years into my Guard career I'm still but an apprentice...


    29 years and I never truly figured it out. I don’t think it matters about where you go, as long as your on leave and have the accrued days. I never had anyone tell where I could or couldn’t go.

    Finally done in Afghanistan?

    Crenshaw was completely against the withdrawal, and I agree with him.
     
    I like Tulsi, but I get the feeling she's whatever she needs to be to stay relevant.
     
    I'd much rather see Nikki Haley with Crenshaw as VP. As a bonus, Haley is a Trump favorite and might just be able to keep him from running again, instead taking the role of "queen maker."


    I could see myself supporting this team
