^nomination for post of the year.

If that’s the kind of advice they’re giving you I’d seek better folks to get advice from. That’s nonsense.

If you’re passed over again next year you’ll have the option to decline continuation. I’m not saying...just saying! Gotta pay back any “unearned” portion of your bonus of course. Options are nice to have

True. Continuation only comes into play once passed over a second time. First time passed over you won’t see that paperwork. It happens a second time....you’ve got some decisions to make.

Today is official release

Breitling. Get the best. Forget the rest

To my knowledge that’s correct. They owe you one last move at the end when you separate/retire. And no, that doesn’t incur any duty.

If you take a move then absolutely that can/will extend your ADSC. If you choose to do that then it’s on you. However, they can’t force you to move and incur duty past your existing ADSC. It may force you to show your hand earlier than you want but if you don’t want the extra ADSC then don’t take the move.

If you have your PPL then you are a pilot as far civilians are concerned, AF wings or not It gets weird with civilian time vs how we log. Throw in little differences between individual airlines and it gets confusing fast. Just be able to justify how you calculated yours come interview time.

UPT would be SIC (except the couple solo flights would be PIC). Simulator time doesn’t get included in your civilian totals, regardless of the type of sim used. For those purposes it’s no different than “other” time. Doesn’t count for anything.

I’ll echo what others have said. Don’t lie or hide anything. Or at a minimum don’t be stupid and try to claim something with the VA and then turn around and fail to let your AME know about the same condition/ailment. I personally know a bud who got in deep legal sh*t with the FAA and wound up indicted. That stuff is no joke. If you aren’t willing to talk about it with your AME, don’t take it to the VA either. On the other hand, it’s pretty surprising how much stuff is acceptable to have and still hold a civilian medical certificate. Tons of info out there so do some research if you have specific concerns.

^ this Civilian aviation does not recognize other time.

I’ve had a chronic back injury for several years now and still flying. But like many things I’m sure it depends on the specifics of your injury. Regardless, my 2 cents would be to get it checked out asap.

Slife the Knife! Get some
