Is there more to do beyond getting the 422? Also, I haven’t gotten official word from AFPC yet, but I can see in CMS that mine has been approved. 11M, asked for 6 months off, submitted 30 Dec, had intent to hire letter submitted with package. Longest single part of the process so far was getting the Wg/CC signature on the 1288

I submitted mine recently and asked for 6 months, all approvals so far, so I’m fairly optimistic that I’ll be good to go and will find out soon.. however I heard the same thing and wish I had asked for an extra 2-3 months off..

The new airline thread
Now I’m second guessing my apps.. what is considered an accident or incident? I’ve shut down so many engines I have no count. I had a pretty unique emergency once but we recovered the aircraft with no damage. I listed my over speed, no damage, with my Q3; but not under incidents. What’s the threshold?

It’s sim time only. Also, 80 hours isn’t going to be a deal breaker for a mil guy. I’m a child of sequestration.. 1/10 of my total flight time is Other time.. counts for zero.

Which is also basically the same attitude our national leadership has regarding Afghanistan and our endless wars in the Middle East

Contracting: GPC and sole-source
Also.. GPC limit is pretty high now, $20K? at LRAFB, we are supposed to be getting a “super GPC” (held by the Group RAs) that is supposed to have a crazy high limit.. $200+K. They say it’ll be here by FY20

Not a new transfer. You can add kids and swap months without incurring additional time

Atlas 767 (Amazon livery) Down
Just a Herk driver with no clue in the world.. landing configuration at 6000 feet? No way, that seems crazy. Is that standard ops for a 767?

Divorce
A good squadron buddy of mine went through this last year... if I could give you one piece of advice from the observer POV..even if you think you can do everything amicably, still get a lawyer.. his started out with her being reasonable and agreeing to things but devolved into some awful shit and ended up involving lawyers

Anyone used Turo on a TDY and gotten reimbursed?
I thought the AirBnB memo was rescinded. Just talk to your AO though, if you gave me a constructed travel worksheet I’d let it fly.

Taxes, the Deficit/Debt, and the Fiscal Cliff
That's kinda my point. Wealthy people still live in and buy stuff in Texas, so I don't think the decrease in spending every materialized. Are the poor worse off in Texas than if they were in any other state? Don't know. The big plus to me is that everyone participates.

Taxes, the Deficit/Debt, and the Fiscal Cliff
How about consumption tax married with universal basic income? I would think the Left could get on board with that. Has an income tax replaced by a consumption tax ever been tried? Seems like there are states with no income tax that seem to do alright.. also seems like some states with high income taxes that aren’t doing so hot. Do we *know* it will discourage spending enough to severely impact the economy?
