  1. FEs aren't limited to helos, FYI. https://www.afforums.com/index.php?threads/flight-engineer-history.15324/
  2. Instructing at PIT means the folks you are instructing already have wings, last I checked.
  3. not STS. 304 RQS (Portland).
  4. I remember seeing some email traffic in Jan regarding needing to fill out some paperwork to continue Roth TSP contributions. Did you do that? ETA: apparently you need to make sure your Roth TSP contributions are characterized by a percentage of pay vice an actual dollar amount. https://www.holloman.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123432619
  5. there's also an issue (Guard, I think) of if the AGR doesn't own any like iron, then there can't be Guard pilots on that airframe. This is currently an issue at Kirtland (58 SOW), where there are no Guard or Reserve entities who own Hueys or CV-22s, so all the Guard Huey and CV-22 instructors at the 150th are fucked. And this is also fucking the AD instructors. It's a lose-lose, and not sure if anyone's figured out a workaround yet.
  6. you just don't know the right people.
  7. I know the Hueys in AFGSC have been using iPads for a while now, maybe Breckey can chime in.
  8. Heidelberg! Neuschwanstein! Drive some laps on the Nurburgring!
  9. please dear god end this thread derailment!
  10. apparently TIB is having trouble filling the ranks this year... https://www.facebook.com/jqpublic/posts/835193759885460:0
  11. can't log in at DM.
  12. timeline for adjudicated VA claim depends on which VA you've filed with. As an example, I have friends who have been waiting anywhere from one to several years. I, on the other hand, had a fully adjudicated claim in 8 weeks, because the Southern Arizona VA (aka Tucson) is awesome. Have you already filed your claim paperwork? My timeline: filed paperwork at the assistance office on base, 5 weeks later had appointment at the VA hospital for the exams, 3 weeks after that I got a letter in the mail detailing the results/decisions for my claimed service-connected medical issues, and a week after that I had my first check electronically deposited in my bank account for the back pay to my DOS.

    I would say your chances are slim of getting to Wright-Pratt.
  14. that's not a new link, it's the same link as posted above with more crap added to the end (my guess is you drilled down deeper in the site).

    One of the other threads someone mentioned he was in TAP a week or two ago...
  16. down 12.3% in Valdumpster? That sucks.
  17. There are instructions on the AIS sharepoint site. Go to the portal and search for Advanced Instrument School and you'll get to the sharepoint site.
  18. I evened it out for you...

    well I came in only when Pro was released (few months ago), and I got it for free (desktop), so I don't have complaints, as I don't currently have any $$ sunk into it.

    not true. If you stick to the desktop version only, then it's a one-time fee and free upgrades for life. You only pay a subscription if you want to integrate with iOS devices.

    looks like they changed their pricing model on Nov 8th. But, I would not trust the website, go to the App Store and see what it's priced at. From what I can see on Coradine's FB page, it will be a one-time purchase and then free upgrades for life. I got it when it was free (immediately after the new version was released), so I guess I'm lucky.

    LogTen is great on the Mac side, Logbook Pro works well on the PC side (you appear to be combining the two). The latest version of LogTen is free for the desktop version, but costs if you want to integrate any iOS devices. I do fine with the stand alone desktop version. Makes it very easy to do any combo of hrs a hiring authority may want in a report.
