Finally received my dates at 0729 this morning; dates are coming for those who haven't received them, stand fast.

That's pretty unacceptable; they've had months to get those dates squared away and haven't provided any sort of update saying they're behind.

2 guys in my squadron who were alternates got word yesterday that they were selected. It's happening.

Just to keep the info going: RPA Select (only applied for RPA). 1st time applying,current rated aviator. Wg #1/1. 99 Pilot score. 93 PCSM. 21 hours. Hopeful for the alternates. If you weren't selected,don't give up! I know a lot of guys who took 2-3 tries, but keep working at it and you'll eventually get there! Now to round 2 at DOSScwhitz!

Don't give me that false hope, lol

Man, can't tell you how nice it is to hear all of that. I'm sort of in the opposite position of you; I'm on a platform with a bad maintenance record and honestly just want a break from flying (primarily to have a more stable home life). I know "the grass is always greener...," but I'm hoping RPA will be a good fit for my family and I for the last part of my career. Praying we both get the job we're hoping for!

Haha, ok, as someone who applied for RPA that's good to hear. I know not everyone loves RPA, or any job for that matter, but it's good to hear you like yours. And I'm right there with you; Chief of Flight Safety and checking this forum and all of the AF pages 10 times a day for info; the wait sucks.

Is the wait what sucks? Or the job itself?

I did. I've been in for 13 years and don't intend on staying another 12+ for the pilot track.

Merry Christmas everyone! If anyone wants to drop the list as a Christmas gift, I wouldn't be upset 😉🇺🇲

Dang, it WAS out of my head until I saw your comment! Lol, jk. Merry Christmas to you and everyone else as well.

DM sent! Thanks!
