    I already lost too much $ betting on this one. I thought for sure the Dems were going to stage a shooting at their convention, Jussie Smollet style. It’d be some guy wearing a red MAGA hat, or maybe the buffalo horns guy, but he’d actually take old Joe out. 

    That wouldn't surprise me.

    Just confirming I have the facts...Trump will be arrested on Tuesday for giving a check to an adult film star while Biden is celebrated for standing by as millions of dollars were funneled from Chinese firms to all of his relatives.

    That sounds like the plot line to a bad movie.

    Do your school. Or don’t. It’ll work out either way. The USAF payed for FOUR - count’em - 4x masters degrees for me. I (still) only need one, and even that is arguable.

    How did you get them to pay for four?

    Watched this a bunch, and I've yet to hear him call for a riot, coup, or insurrection. Now, it's some Dem's turn to post the part where he does. I'll wait.

    I'm waiting too

    I wouldn't think so. The law says you have to provide proof of honorable discharge or proof that you're currently serving in the armed forces, and have been rated a military pilot. It's not UPT graduation that lets you have an R-ATP, it's being a military pilot (not a civilian pilot who flies for the military). Presumably if we sent a new pilot to a foreign program as an exchange rather than UPT, they'd still qualify for the R-ATP if we rated them.

    I thought it had to do with the training as I've heard about foreign pilots getting their FAA CPL for going through UPT. I did look it up and it looks like both are true:

    (h) Documents for qualifying for a pilot certificate and rating. The following documents are required for a person to apply for a pilot certificate and rating:

    (1) An official U.S. Armed Forces record that shows the person is or was a military pilot.

    (2) An official U.S. Armed Forces record that shows the person graduated from a U.S. Armed Forces undergraduate pilot training school and received a rating qualification as a military pilot.

    (3) An official U.S. Armed Forces record that shows the pilot passed a pilot proficiency check and instrument proficiency check in an aircraft as a military pilot.

    (4) If a person is a military pilot in the Armed Forces from a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and is applying for a pilot certificate and rating, that person must present the following:

    Are they going to send these guys through full UPT, followed by full PIT? If so, they’re no different than FAIPs, so maybe this is OK. But my cynicism says the AF won’t do that and they’ll get some corner-cutting training and be a “half-FAIP,” making this one of the dumbest ideas I’ve seen. 

    If they go through full UPT will they qualify for the 750 hour RATP?

    Who's funding programs and grants for poor white people to get into aviation?

    Civil air patrol and AFJROTC for high schoolers. ROTC and military academies for college age, though those come with a commitment

    Since when are AFROTC, AFJROTC & CAP not allowing minorities to join? It seems like there are no programs or grants for poor white people to get into aviation whereas there are a plethora of said programs for minorities. This sounds both racist and sexist to me, and hetrophobic as well.

    They aren't annoyed at all. Your white male money and airline ambitions are what make those conferences possible.

    And your money and "membership" is what funds minority programs and grants to help get these groups into aviation.
