My ex-wife used that same excuse!- VA Loans
Closed on a house this summer with Amy (PilotWife2 here) and NBKC. Great experience; she was lightning fast with answering any questions and always kept me up to date with all pertinent information. My realtor even commented that he wished everyone on the banking side was like Amy. Made a return from overseas PCS much less stressful.- Mattis to the rescue?

PM sent- GPA Impact
I am not a big fan of formal education with the GPA to prove it. My way to mitigate that is rock all of the other areas that the AF looks at. It has worked well for me.- Goldfein advocating FAA 1500 hour rule change???
I laugh quite a bit every time I hear AF "pilot shortage". There is no shortage of pilots wanting to fly planes in the AF. There's a shortage of the AF placing those pilots in jobs that allow them to be pilots, and to teach other pilots. There's plenty of bag wearers sitting at group level positions, in staff jobs, at IDE, etc staring at a computer screen. I've flown less than 200 hours a year the last 3 years as an experienced MWS instructor because the AF values keeping the self fellating bureaucratic process running more that it values flight experience. Senior Capts and junior majors are begging to be 'allowed' to get back to teaching the young pilots, only to be told that they're more valued behind a desk. No thanks, see ya, welcome aboard Delta 4962, non stop to Chicago.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
