Talent market place question. WTF is that? Never heard of it.
-
Asked about what are they doing to take additional duties off pilots backs (question about being and RA and instructor pilot). He didn’t say if it was on their radar prior to the question but did say it is now. Went into additional duties being downgraded. But then went into why it’s important to the AF works for the AF. And how if as an RA you know how the AFdoes money that it will be extremely important for you. So he side stepped the question kinda. And said that RA’s learn how the AF’s money works (debatable general. Agree to disagree). “The more you learn about money, the better off you will be in your Air Force Career.”
He did say they are making a push for admin people in the squadrons.
Then the moderator spoke up in favor of additional duties. -
Question asked about airline hiring and how to retain people.
Answer. Retention working group looks to solve pilot problem by getting them into the guard and reserve (guard and reserve doesn’t have a retention problem btw). Sounds like they are pushing for guard and reserve to take in more people and more experienced people. So far he’s not talking about why that’s in the individual pilots benefit. Just the AF’s benefit.
He is talking about figuring out how to make bonus more money and how to make pilots lives better. No real details on how but just that they are looking at it. He brought up the we have less deployments to the CENTCOM AOR so that should help. Then he admitted that he has no real solutions right now. -
Bonus. “It’s essential”.
AD program. Capped at 35k per year by law (he claimed). O5 and below. Tiers. And required after pilot commitment complete.
2022 doesn’t have an appropriations bill yet or CR. So no bonus program yet. They saw 2020 and 2021 bonus takers were similar to pre covid. Roughly bonus paid out per year = 194 million.
Sounds like they are trying to change the bonus program completely. A big overhaul for 2023. They are planning on starting from scratch and potentially asking for relief from current laws. He claims it could look significantly different than the bonus in the recent decades. -
MAF retention virtual going on right now. HTTPS://ata@atalink.org
General Miller. Not sure where from.
Edit. You should be able to watch it after the fact when it’s over. -
How is energy stored now? Aren’t batteries perishable?

Still doesn’t make sense to me that if there are mask mandates why the vaccinated don’t have to wear masks. Hasn’t made any sense since the vaccine came out.
If you have the vaccine and covid with almost no symptoms you are just spreading it about.
Anyone explain that one? -
Only about 1000 times better. And it’s a lot of good natured entertainment for the rest of us.

Prozac. Who is fondling Putins balls by discussing what is being done by both sides? Did anyone agree with him or praise him or advocate for him?
Just curious where your emotions are coming from that shut down debate from those you disagree with. -
Makes sense now.
I received my last semester of MGIB benefit in 2001, so I was ineligible for P911GIB...for the most part. I still have a year of eligibility which I'm planning on using to add rotorcraft to my commercial. Jus for funsies.
Having any luck finding a place? It’s hard to find a GI Bill rotorcraft place online. -
If you contributed the original $1,200 into the MGIB and convert to the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, as long as you’re receiving housing allowance once your Post 9/11 runs out, then you’ll receive that $1,200 back.
Are you talking about the kicker? So what exactly are you saying? You get your kicker back? -
He’s trying to see if he can get both benefits simultaneously and at the same time.

Mostly because you were wanting to argue. You state things then say believe me I know what I’m talking about. Then refresh your page every 30 seconds waiting for someone to not agree with you.
Note all I said is we can’t all agree. I think it’s pretty bold of you to make a exclusive claim then claim everyone agrees with you. Then not really cite anything.
Just my .02. -
Well, I can see us going down a rabbit hole with this one, but I think we can all agree in general that people of color have had less professional opportunities than your average white dude. I am a white dude and I can acknowledge that. I can go into a decertation as to why this has been and will continue to be an issue in this country until things significantly change (on both sides of the fence), but I will say that I think a lot of people in these groups are in this predicament because of the way your average white dude has treated them, because of the way your average white dude has dominated how the legal system operates and how your average white dude could care less about cleaning up areas of poverty predominantly occupied by people of color. I acknowledge that poverty has no color, but you can't tell me that your average white household living below the poverty line has generations upon generations of family members who've been discriminated upon and who've dealt with the social injustices of other minorities. Just my .02.
Nope. We can’t all agree.-

How can they prove that your hearing wouldn’t be better without tinnitus?

It was ok two summers ago along with murdering and burning both civilian, state, and federal property causing billions of dollars of damage. This time there isn’t death, burning, wanton destruction and it’s to support individual freedoms. Why is a much more peaceful civil protest this time not ok? If anyone has that opinion that it’s wrong I would love to hear your thoughts as to why. And it can’t be because the population depends on them. Because that’s the risk you take in a society that is founded on freedom. So go with other reasons.

Don’t put that PC evil on us. There are absolutely wrong choices out there! I kid.
Nice words. Thanks. -
For retirees, 50% is the magic number. 49% and below, your VA disability pay is deducted from your retirement pay. Very small tax benefit. 50% and above, retirement and VA disability are both payed out. VA essentially pays my mortgage right now.
Don’t forget. If you get less than 50% and you are divorced, it’s less that the ex-wife can get of your retirement.-

There is a difference between 0% disabled and no disability. 0% is still considered a disability rating. Lack of a disability rating is no disability rating. You can get your VA loan charge done away with 0% disability.
