uhhello Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Where's the Major or MSgt with a pair to call this douchebags bluff? I'd make sure to fill out the next ORM sheet exactly as written for my next few flights. 1

Hope this blows up on social media and this OG/CC gets publicly raked across the coals and fired by ACC leadership backed up by the CSAF. No offense to my ABM bros but is this OG/CC an ABM that has zero concept of aviation hazards and fatigue? Unless you’re in combat, an ABM not being able to do their job doesn’t kill lives. 3 4

Please tell me this was in an unclass setting and someone had their cell phone recording this?!? But seriously, if true, everyone in the room should have left the building and immediately filed an IG complaint. 3 minutes ago, dream big said: Hope this blows up on social media and this OG/CC gets publicly raked across the coals and fired by ACC leadership backed up by the CSAF.

Wait, this dude is an ABM? Oh man...lol, someone should have asked if he had come to that viewpoint from is vast experience as a pilot? 1
12xu2a3x3 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 It’s true I heard it myself. Flight deck dudes and dudettes are a unified front and we’re handling it. He’s an ABM, there’s only ABMs in charge of anything here. 1
1:1:1 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Proof that to many of the Bobs ORM is just another way to spell CYA. Of course the only risk they buy is losing the next promotion. 1
Sprkt69 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Can’t fly a non-combat dangerous mission if you can’t get the jet to taxi 1

Remember how a social media campaign torched that 2 star who called those supporting the A-10 traitors and subsequently got fired? Let’s hope the same heat gets brought on this DB. Don’t cave, if you are not rested to fly for a BS ex, don’t! If you get persecuted, go to your IG. Worst case, your senator Tom Cotton has your back. Combat?..different story. Either way, LTs start the corn machine because I can’t wait to see this unfold.
Prozac Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Good thing we have a metric fuck ton of E-3s and can afford to lose a few so some WG/CC can get his next promotion. Not like those jets are a precious and finite national asset or something…..oh wait. Oh yeah, playing fast and loose with the lives of 20 some odd crewmembers per jet is also bad. Feel for you guys that continue to ride out bad leadership (and/or have no choice). FWIW, I know quite a few good dudes and dudettes that stuck around after I left and seem to be making a difference. Hoping that’s a trend. If not, airlines will be continuing to hire for a bit & the water’s nice.
Danger41 Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Regardless of the OG/CC’s actions, wtf was the exercise white cell team thinking planning that exercise that way? That is some piss poor exercise planning. 1

That is some piss poor exercise planning. My guess is that the White Cell put the sorties on the schedule, then left it to the squadrons to fill. In all the exercises I planned in the IG, I never told commanders when to start the deployment line. I told them what time their first "deployed" sortie should be in the air and left them to back out the timeline. 3
Guardian Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 Agreed. Either way it’s a fail on SQ for not either pushing back against White Cell schedule or setting a better schedule. I’m sure that the SQ CC or DO will be the only ones fired on this. OG and Vice will likely be promoted. Crews will likely get out because of anger and be replaced. This AF is so upside down. Was hoping Goldfien wouldn’t do much damage to the AF. But I guess that was too much to hope for. Here’s to fingers…..

08Dawg Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Kicking the safety team out is a massive red flag. If I’m the wing chief of safety and I hear that, the answer is “Uh, no” 1

Hell, I’ll bet the LTs in the room knew it was fucked up like polio as soon as it was happening. This is like busting a rule on a checkride; from the WG/CC’s perspective, his hands are probably tied with respect to the outcome at this point. 1
Scooter14 Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 I’m trying to find his official bio online. I’m willing to bet he spent the majority of his career checking boxes as an exec and going towards schools vs. being in an ops squadron hacking the mission. 1

The culture in the AWACS community pretty much guarantees this is the case. Their priorities are often misaligned with the rest of the CAF.

His public LinkedIn profile picks up 10 years into his career, but basically yes: NAF Staff > Legislative Fellow > Special Asst. to STRATCOM CC > 2 total years in ops as Sq DO & Deployed Sq CC > NWC > HAF Staff > AFFSA Deputy CC > Celebrity
Guardian Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 That’s not a great career path. A lot of assignments you send someone on that you want to get rid of. How did he end up the OG?

How did he end up the OG?He was probably the only one that hung around long enough and I’m sure he had someone somewhere pulling for him.It’s like “the Rat 2.0” for those who remember that guy.
