I’m guessing 18 AD years with no break in service is a good indicator of being within 2 years of retirement eligibility? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

$50k is a lot compared to the stop-loss pay you’ll get if this China shit warms up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When, not if. If everyone that stays in gets base of preference, nobody gets base of preference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on that logic, I should be able to claim all my hours as a passenger as 121 experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where’s OSI when we need them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

T-6 would be dual received at best. Not sure how T-1 time would be viewed. How much of it is in a seat with controls vs in the back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would have made for a better story if the boom became an aerospace physiologist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From my understanding, the first sim only class will start in November. Depending on how long the T-6 2.5 syllabus is, that might correlate with a March T-6 start date. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you just realize that there is a “Sim” but no “Sims?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nobody named “Sims” on here, filthy_liars Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who is this Sims? Maybe a member from another message board you troll? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw it in the theater and liked it. Not going to buy it, but it’s worth watching when it’s streaming or the 99 cents at Redbox if you still have a blu ray player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So a couple years off, but is their any downside to front loading TSP so as to max it out prior to a mid-year retirement? Would it limit the amount you can put in a 401k in the same tax year with the new employer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For FAA purposes when getting your R-ATP, SIC in a heavy counts as PIC. Don’t list this time as PIC on an airline app unless the airline specifically allows it. As far as I know everyone, including regionals, only counts time as PIC if you signed for the jet or are logging Instructor or Evaluator hours. That said, you don’t need any PIC time to get picked up at most regionals, just an R-ATP. Some of the Legacies have even dropped the PIC requirement and made it “preferred.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PIC time: If you go heavies, it’ll be zero. Figure on spending a minimum of two years before upgrading to AC. Fighters will be PIC, but I can’t speak to how quickly you can build hours. Flying job opportunities: nothing that pays very well until you can get your R-ATP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Better than sending 11Ms to work 11F staff jobs. At least 18X should know a little something about ACC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or they could go work on the staff at ACC, freeing up experienced pilots to go back to their aircraft! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Twice passed over might be a thing of the past as they transition to the 5-look system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s bad enough when we have pilot GOs running things. Imagine if Navs ever took charge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GTI and performance car are only something a Nav would confuse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She should be holding her parents accountable, and, assuming she had one, her psychiatrist. I’d say both of those parties are far more culpable than the guy holding the scalpel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does the 46 have a tiller on the right side? If so, you could theoretically fly from the right. If not, shorter pilots might be challenged to reach the gear from the left. EPs are another concern. I imagine there are some (runaway trim perhaps?) where the EP would be substantially compounded without a 2nd pilot in the seat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
