update to deployment pay fiasco: Finance paid out combat tax free for one month...but for the two months in 2016 they didn't pay any $$$...rather gave me a corrected W-2 sure that's fine if you think of taxable income amount and cold hard cash is 1 for 1 substitution. I think its a $hitty deal how they "fixed" the issue, but im sure there's an AFI governing this...anyone in the know have more details? There were three of us who called base finance and all three got different answers

FWB/ME are fine for families...driving to navarre every day would take years off my life why choose to have a shitty commute home?

most important requirement that it should have: some LOS VDL other than POS VORTEX christ almighty that system sucks

The navy does this right most of those cruise videos are pretty cool but then again what else is there to do stuck on a boat for 6 months

lol

"no beer light friday you naughty little IPs ...pilot retention problem?!" "thats FAKE NEWS nothing to see here morale and retention are fine trust me!" - Big blue

disagree both his statements are 100% logical

so no beer light on friday? UFB

i almost spit my beer out when i read this well played!

Nerds

have a pulse

my favorite quote from co pilots (as the autopilot is on and flying) "hey sir im gonna get ATIS can you take the aircraft?" uh...wat? and no.

submitted in Jan im frustrated because this is a trend...three deployments in a row with finance pay issues

guys he's looking for the UPT exchange tour! where can he go be a student in europe flying/drinking/chasing women?!

i think most people are scared off my multiple bad boy emails before letting it get to 200+ days

i wouldn't even go there

hilarious keep it up big blue!

it's cause the current HRT wing/cc is a fcking bad ass

beerman, fair enough...but i refuse to believe the answer to AF retention is to bring back more lower paying regional pilot jobs reducing the number of high paying Legacy airline cockpit jobs...lowering the incentive for AF pilots to bail...something about that doesn't seem right

seriously. it shouldnt be this hard.

now that is hilarious

that's how i take it too..."hey we can't fix our root problems so let's flood the hiring pool with civilian pilots so our guys have less opportunity to jump ship"

what is the commitment for a white jet tour? does it start after you finish PIT?

has he ever eaten food from Pei Wei and if so what's his favorite meal?
