Aren’t you a Nav? I’m sure your expertise qualifies you to concoct an 18X-11X syllabus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seeing as Vance is done flying the Legacy jets, and they’re done AMPing them, I doubt you’ll see that happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, they’re great. They also have never locked my card while traveling, which USAA seems to do on a frequent basis. You can also get the Schwab Amex Platinum, which allows you to redeem points into your account. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re “winged pilots” who face an FEB and losing their wings if they don’t make it through T-38s, T-1s, or UH-1s. Not sure what the current washout rate is, but it’s already happened several times. I like to think of them as provisionally winged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why were they 18X rather than 11X in the first place? There were three types I generally saw as a URT instructor: A) Medically DQ’d, B) didn’t want a 10 year ADSC, or C) didn’t have high enough PCSM scores. 18X->11X doesn’t work for group A (with the exception of those who,s medical issue resolved/was waiverable). I imagine most of group B hasn’t done a 180 and is suddenly eager to sign up for another 10 year ADSC. As for group C, I’m sure some of them have gained enough airmanship that they could thrive at 11X, but there are plenty who can’t. In any case, it’s not a good investment for the Air Force. Firstly, unless there is a significant overage in the 18X community, you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul. Secondly, the Air Force is saving money by sending butterbars to UPT as opposed to Captains. Pay being one factor, lesser risk of medical DQ before ADSC being another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A quick search shows 9 hits for China, 46 for PRC, 71 for Russia, 2 for extremism, 6 for extremist, 1 for nationalism, 1 mention of the word white, in reference to “White House,” nothing about January 6th, 2 mentions of diversity and 2 of inclusion with regards to the military. You do get 20 instances of Climate Change, so congrats. So where did you come up with your premise? I’m no fan of the admin, but you’re either making up your own fake news, or parroting someone else’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Phoenix Reach is AMC’s cross flow program for Captains. It’s typically tanker-airlift or airlift-tanker. People will also flow to different airframes following airframe divestiture (C-130H several years ago, and KC-10 in the future). It’s not as common at the Sq/CC level, but many OGs and WG/CCs are given command of units that operate a plane they didn’t previously fly (which doesn’t always go so well, see Dyess AFB).

Don’t worry about it. You’ll have the hours for an ATP (or, worst case, R-ATP if you track fighters) before your commitment is up. The freebie commercial used to be worth something. After the Colgan legislation, it isn’t. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a free motley fool account from Amex. So far the best performing recommendation I acted on has lost 17%, and it was the source of all toxic masculinity: Activision [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

R-ATP might be good enough. APC lists Alaska as 1200 in high-performance military aircraft. If not, regionals would not be a bad option given their recent pay increases (not just limited to AA RJs, Mesa increased theirs, and I thought I saw something about Horizon too). Edit to add: Is that 1300 counting your UPT time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flight pay and the bonus aren’t subject to Social Security. I imagine the same is true for all bonuses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recall at one point Citi had placed restrictions on their cards for certain gun purchases. I was hoping to use that as an excuse to not use my GTC since the government was now forcing us to sign a contract with a politically-partisan company. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same is true if you keel over the day after buying life insurance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Emergency power/hydraulics from a RAT come at the expense of increased drag. Extend your range on the other hand? Are you unfamiliar with the concept of conservation of energy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great comment here, maybe at cruise we can use two props on the 130 as generators to power the other two! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was amused when I realized that as an O-4 with flight pay and a bonus I was making more than the nonner O-6s and below that caused me the greatest headaches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“We need a more modern way to be able to assess” housing and subsistence allowances and cost-of-living adjustments, she said Easy: quarterly base pay, flight pay, and BAS adjustments automatically tied to inflation. Realistic BAH reviews (maybe not on a quarterly basis, since this would require more manpower) that actually look at the available housing market and exclude developments/apartments the Wing King wouldn’t let his kid live in. I understand this would make budgeting incredibly difficult, but it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the nonsense programs Congress funds on what seems to be a daily basis.

Chump change compared to the $240 Billion for student loan relief, and a much better use of tax dollars imho. Afterthought: student loan relief should only be given for those that travel to Ukraine to assist. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a little more than sexual harassment when there were probably any number of minors on the plane who could have received the images. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
