Biden pardoned his crime family…

Yep, Vivek is going to run for Ohio governor. And if Trump was good with Vivek being Senator then I’m sure Trump will be good with being Governor…unlike Day Man said.

You just couldn’t help yourself, could you? https://newrepublic.com/post/190275/donald-trump-vivek-ramaswamy-senator

Policies. Here’s just a few. Bush—Iraq War and Patriot Act, amongst others. Romney—weak on 2A. Weak on immigration. Voted to confirm Jackson to SCOTUS. Voted for massive Ukraine spending. Voted to remove Trump after the nonsense first impeachment. McCain—war hawk. Weak on immigration. Voted against repealing the ACA. All three were part of the old school/elitist wing of the GOP.

I said you don’t like Trump and you’re biased against his picks…I said nothing about your party or who you voted for in the past. As for Bush, Romney, and McCain…definitely not any of my favorites, and I believe politically, Trump is better than all 3.

Yep, you’re still biased. Once again, I’m shocked lol

Someone who doesn’t like Trump also doesn’t like his picks?

The FAA cares about safety/compliance…if there’s an issue where the government wants/needs the CVR, my guess is they have every right to get it (ie after a mishap). Also, what we’re saying to ATC is also being recorded, and what we’re doing wrt flight parameters is also being recorded/transmitted. To have cameras/recording devices in the flight deck just for someone to see whenever they want, that would be seen as a barrier to effective CRM. Just my $.02

Isn’t that more/less what a CVR is?

After today’s confirmation hearing for Hegseth, I imagine he’ll be confirmed with little to no problem.

Says the guy who supported the candidate whose campaign outspent Trump 3-1…

In other news…the shenanigans of electing a Speaker seems to be over (and was much less of a debacle compared to last year), so it seems everything is in order for Trump to be certified. And Merchan plans on sentencing Trump next week, but has already said it (probably) won’t be prison. “Merchan wrote in his decision that he is not likely to "impose any sentence of incarceration," but rather a sentence of an "unconditional discharge," which means there would be no punishment imposed.” And once again the progressives actually thought they had Trump where they wanted him… https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-judge-sets-trump-sentencing-days-before-inauguration

Tell us five new policy changes that Trump has said he will implement that you believe will make things worse.

Saying “President Musk” just further embarrasses the fact that Biden is the president…but that being said, I’ll take Musk on the Trump team any day!

That’s like saying because I took a programming course in college that I’m a computer programmer. And if you’re not saying he was a good choice as FAA administrator, then why didn’t you say so when he was nominated like you are now wrt Tulsi’s nomination? You don’t like Trump…we get it.

Or hiring someone with their PPL to run the FAA…oh wait…

Those are illegal in NJ and most of the NE states, so we’re good.

One down, many more to go!

That alone makes me support the nomination even more!

Well, he already thinks democracy is over since Trump won, so he didn’t have much of a chance anyway according to his own words.

Is this a serious question? And the contract was to go to UPT and become a pilot…promotion/retention laws/regs had nothing to do with it. Rules always change while you’re in the military, nothing you agree to says they have to remain static while you’re in service.

1) In my time in the AF, I was rarely surprised that those who got passed over for O-4 were passed over… 2) To be a Captain (or soon to be) and get picked picked up for UPT means they most likely had a solid record to begin with…my bet is the percentage of late to rate (pilots) Captains getting passed over for O-4 is much lower than those in their original career fields, as well as their non-late to rate fellow pilots. 3) The UPT ADSC is to go to pilot training and become a pilot, that’s it. Promotion is definitely not a gurantee, and if said potential late to rate officer is concerned about promotions (though see point above), my advice for them is to focus not on becoming a pilot, but being the best officer they can be and getting promoted in their original career field. 4) The AF is not hurting for qualified candidates to go to UPT…if fewer non-rated officers want to become pilots, then it’s not much of a loss IMO. 5) It’s the AF, and it’s far from anything we all think is “fair” in our own minds. If we’re going down that rabbit hole, I’m sure I got quite a few people beat, willing to discuss offline. 6) They signed up to serve, meeting the minimum standard isn’t that hard. And if they really want to get out, there are ways to do it.
