    Unsat for SA. Thanks.

    Any word from CBM?

    One of those U-28s was on the T-1 side. And the other T-38 stud got a F-15E.
  5. Inertia17
    Not sure, it certainly surprised us when we heard about it.

    There was an offer at DLF of a spot to go fly Growlers to post-IFF dudes who were heading to the Viper. 3 year gig.
  7. Inertia17
    Probably a safe bet. We went through at least 6-9 attempts for approval of ours. Would hate to offend anyone...or reference hooking rides. That never happens in UPT...

    Definitely glad to hear that FAIP doesn't make it impossible to go to Weapons School. A number of people had mentioned it is much more difficult being 4 years 'behind' as far as time in your MWS goes, is this true?
  9. Inertia17
    Getting FAIP'd in general apparently closes a few doors (Weapons School for example, or at least makes it more difficult), but it seems most of the T-6 FAIP's who flew T-38s in UPT are heading to fighters now. As for T-38 vs T-6 FAIP, as with anything it is a bit of luck and timing as well. There could be a dude who would be a great FAIP, but there isn't a slot for T-38 PIT available to the Sq at the time, so they end up in the T-6 instead.

    The three SUPT bases all drop on the same day for a given class to my knowledge. DLF does have a drop tonight.

    You seem to be neglecting the mentions of Heroism and Valor. Heroism: great bravery. Bravery: courageous behavior or character. Courage: the ability to do something that frightens one. Valor: great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle. If you are frightened, or believe you are in danger in your air conditioned GCS at 1G and 0 kts...well that just screams bravery.

    U, Spooky. Corrected list.

    Ah right, I thought the CPI adjustment matched the increases we get yearly, my mistake. And completely spaced on the high-3 calc.
  16. Inertia17
    I am pretty sure they just calculate it from the present year (when you are receiving said payments) pay charts based on time in service and rank, then adjust based on your retirement percentage. But I could be wrong.
  17. Inertia17
    Pretty sure those are the first two items on a dollar ride in the T-38.

    Oh I can definitely see that, I just can't miss an opportunity to quote the Simpsons. It is definitely concerning to hear all the stories of various screw jobs and to see how things are playing out as a young Lt right now. When a good portion of the IPs are planning to bail as soon as the ADSC is up, it doesn't exactly encourage you to press for 20. Particularly when being constantly reminded about the BRS.

    There's no justice like angry mob justice...

    I never saw him wear that down here, almost guaranteed PA coaxing. Good dude.

    Unnecessary Deployments Perhaps they are paying some attention. Who knows if anything will actually come of it though.

    XL 17-10 T-38 F-22 2 x F-16 F-15C F-15E T-6 FAIP T-1 C-17 x 2 C-21 T-6 FAIP KC-135 x 2 KC-10 HC-130J Bunch of Guard KC-135s and a C-130 to round it out from memory.

    The F-35 wasn't made for the merge anyway...apparently it is a thing of the past, would never happen. Or at least that's how they want to justify it's awesome maneuverability...
  24. Inertia17
    Yes. If they keep the market share, which they would likely need to reduce ticket prices to do with less/no crew. It is not as simple as throwing that on top of their profit margin.
  25. Inertia17
    Assuming you get the passengers willing to go without that extra crew member/no crew for that $15-20 saving, instead of flying with a fully crewed airline. That original ballpark was said in response to gaining market share by offering tickets at 25-50% less than current rate (suggested by Guardian), which would not be possible with such a small saving.
