Just to clarify, XPW is not sim only. You bypass the T-6, and as a result cannot be FAIPed, so it’s a great deal if you’re wanting heavies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Air Force Fundamentals (AFF) is the sim-only T-1 program for high time, ATP holding students. XPW is a T-1 only program (think legacy syllabus with a couple extra blocks of training to compensate for no T-6s) intended for Commercial, Multi-Engine, Instrument types, but the only required pre-req is flight screening.

Are the sim only T-1 folks FAIP eligible? What about XPW? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve used a VPN in the past for one Caribbean resort chain, they would offer lower prices if you change your location to outside the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had a guy in my class who was hired for F-16s in the Iowa ANG. He finished just a spot or two below top half in T-6s, and was not sent to -38s. They sent him to T-1s on the condition he would find himself a new unit. He didn’t, so the T-1 Sq/CC found one for him. As for the 3rd question, that shouldn’t happen AFAIK.

I’m just hoping budget priorities result in a crew ratio adjustment and an “excess” of pilots and they open up VSP/TERA again. Wishful thinking I know, but given how inept our leadership is, nothing surprises me and I could see it happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My phone counseling was about a month after my board results, with an AFPC O-5, and it was a waste of time. It basically went like this: Him: For your next OPR, make sure it says X, Y, and Z. Me: My “next OPR” just closed out, and my PRF is due in 2 weeks because HAF accelerated the board schedule. Him: Oh, well, good luck. As far as continuation, if you’re a pilot with a clean record, you should definitely be offered it. I’ve known several pilots who didn’t make Major and still got offered continuation to 20 as a Captain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re probably trying to figure out which AFSCs they’ll offer the full 50k to, and which will be a reduced amount. I doubt they have enough budgeted to offer it across the board. Congress is a big part of the problem when they put the amount into law, but don’t provide enough $$$. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I say Biden/DeSantis ticket for 2024. Dems get what they want as long as Biden stays alive. Republicans get what they want when he dies, and until then they get the Senate back by having DeSantis as the tie breaker (assuming no shift from the current seats). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uh, if adults can do whatever we want, can we opt out taxes that support things we disapprove of? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They don’t help the homeless or trans people. They celebrate their mental issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. They won’t consider everything, like current qual vs highest qual (AC/IP does a Phoenix whatever and has to restart as an FP) vs highest qual effectively held (example: short stint as an EP in MWS, PCS to another base and they revert you to IP). Also, it’s going to make for a lot of brown-nosing the CC to get that higher qual (and pay) and presumably IG complaints when the CC stiffs someone, justifiably or not.

We’ll I’m sure everyone knew nsplayr was a NAV regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They know your wings mean Nav. On the flip side, I have no idea what any of their badges mean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, you’re still not a pilot. RPA operator needs to be the official name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wish I had saved it, and maybe a FOIA request would dig it up, but at one point the AETC 36-2605 specifically called for Commander’s Reviews for minority and female students to be reviewed by the AETC/CC. Now it just says “AETC/A3 staff will maintain entry, production, and elimination data to ensure fairness and equitable opportunity for all flying training program candidates.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

nsplayr’s kids don’t want to be pilots because he’s a nav, and he has talked shit about pilots his entire career. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish this was a joke. “because the brain is not fully developed.” If you haven’t developed a sense of morality by age 18, what’s another 7 years going to do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
