WTF? (**NSFW**)
- The new airline thread
Jaded, I know at least one pilot at each of the 6 major airlines that do commercial flying on the side. Like Hacker states, there is usually a company process for approval.- The new airline thread
Would you clarify this? You cannot fly for hire between indoc and training? Or ever?- WTF? (**NSFW**)

https://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/08/30/woman-claims-united-airlines-paid-her-75-hush-money-after-man-masturbated-next-to-her-for-hours.html Really? For "hours"? Sounds... impressive.- Future T-38 replacement?
I need to hear this story, please. Weida was my OG many years back when I was a T-38 PIT IP. First AF guy I met that was frocked to O-6.- Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training)
I just heard a rumor... I'm hoping that's all it is... that Kwast is going to kill PIT. What/where did this rumor come from? Is there a story here?- Future T-38 replacement?
AZ, As usual, you are spot on. And you bring up some solid points that trump my over simplification of the problem. I've been away from Beale for 4 years now, so I'll defer to those of you current in AF A-models. As for the ejection seat, it is plenty capable. How much did the MB seat cost to install in the jet, after all of the delays and cost overruns?- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Future T-38 replacement?
While the T-38 is older than you want, don't try to make this an issue. AETC pushed the C-model. Lots of "new shit" on the jet. The got what they asked for. The millions of $$$ spent on the PMP and the MB seat (how many millions???) would have been useful elsewhere. A-models with 21,000 hours are doing pretty well from a safety viewpoint. Yes, the fleet needs to be replaced. No argument there. No: Paul's jet having dual airframe-mounted gearbox failures is more a function of shitty maintenance than anything else. As a retiree, I'm not "in the know" as much as I'd like to be on his death. Yet. But I'd gladly jump in ANY Beale T-38 and go fly it. Because Beale has some quality guys working those jets. And I'll continue to fly the civilian T-38 without any qualms. It's well maintained, and the seat is solid, in the unlikely event I need it. T-38 crashes should have no bearing on T-X timeline. It should be based on the fact we need an upgraded trainer for our future F-22 and F-35 pilots.- T-38 Down @ DLF
No, it's totally valid. Yes, you need to get back in the books. What you shouldn't do is push. You're welcome.- T-38 Down @ DLF
Is the pin pulled in the chocks? Or just prior to pulling on to the runway?- Navy helo to Air Force KC-135, lifestyle, deployments...
I thought it might be. I'll send you a pm. I wish you the best. The Navy's loss is the AF's gain.- Navy helo to Air Force KC-135, lifestyle, deployments...
Questions: - Has Adriana at AFPC told you "yes, you qualify for an IST?" - Have you been passed over for O-5? - If you haven't been passed over yet, when would you meet the O-5 board in the AF?- New AFPC commander a pilot
C’mon Hacker, cut me some slack! It’s all I got! BTW, if the white jet is painted black, what does that count as??- New AFPC commander a pilot
BTW, who is replacing Toth as the ACC/A3? - The new airline thread
