The Air Force forgets that to get those pilot wings in the first place you had to be in the top 69% (I’m sure the actual number is higher) of your ROTC class (or get into the Academy, or however OTS works). Bottom 1% of the 69th percentile is still the 69th percentile. When I got passed over for O-5 I was pissed but shrugged it off. I had figured I was a coin toss to make it. When I saw the list and saw some of my more deserving friends missing from it, I realized the whole system is fvcked. The Air Force does not value its pilots; Welsh and Goldfein made that much clear, and CQ has done nothing to reverse course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I must have missed it, what’s the 1 Apr thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now if only they would offer VSP and TERA… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guessing so, and it’ll only be available to those who sign before they run out of money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was about to ask the same question. Only answer I could think of was: People in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon who don’t have property and earn little enough they don’t pay federal or state income tax. LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Term limits and campaign finance reform are the only way to fix this mess. Corporate donations should be outright banned. Out-of state donations should be outright banned. The candidate running for the 69th district of Georgia should not be getting financial backing from Dick Suckerburg in California because the candidate’s job is to REPRESENT their constituents, not the interests of some billionaire 1500 miles away. As far as terms go, I think the house needs to adopt a four year term, rather than two, so that they aren’t constantly running for re-election. For term limits, I’d say no more than six total terms in the House/Senate combined. That would give you 24 years in the house, 36 in the senate, and somewhere in between for those that transition.

Any idea how retirement dates work with continuation? The paper says you have to retire on the 1st of a month except for medical, but in my case, 20 years falls on the 31st. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My username isn’t “Rated Flyer 4 Life” and I don’t ask questions about how to be a pilot, so yeah, I am. C-17 IP; what are your quals?

This guy again…go with quals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the pretend pilot finally gone? [emoji898] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Double edged sword. It might make some have an appreciation for what Winged pilots do. It also might make some think “I’m a pilot too, what they do is nothing special that I can’t do just as well!” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has happened, but I wouldn’t count on it unless you have a join spouse preference. I’m also pretty sure it’s a reverse associate unit, not AD tenant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sims won’t help. Long term DNIF will cause loss of flight pay. I believe it’s either in 11-401 or 402. Your SARM or HARM can probably clarify for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The same Air Staff that decided that a red bird sim is a valid replacement for an aircraft? Let’s go full(er) retard and make a Phase 3 where the studs just watch tik tok. *Please don’t suggest this to anyone in the puzzle palace, they’ll probably run with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So let’s fix it by charging Hunter Biden. Oh wait, that won’t happen because his ice cream addled daddy is President. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t you RPA operators have a mIRC chat channel for this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only because your wife was on peopleofWalmart.com when you met, and now even they have standards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don’t know if there are any certified sims in the AF, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. You’ll have the 750 for an R-ATP, and 1500 for an unrestricted in no time. Once you’ve cleared that hurdle, time in an aircraft is the only thing that matters for the airlines. When I did my ATP/type, my partner thought that sim time would help him regain recency for the purposes of getting hired (spoiler: it didn’t). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’re not buying enough T-7s to make that a reality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck with that. With the current syllabus we have about 25 hours of trans/nav, and some can barely land the plane. 25 hours of form/AD/AR with MIF as a fair. Where in there are we supposed to teach all your “advanced” training that isn’t even relevant to everyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

50 hours multi-engine? Sounds kind of like the current T-1 syllabus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
