fsu_ppg Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks for the info! Yeah, over the summer when I met with the OA recruiter, I signed a document saying I understood there was a two lifetime limit to go up to the board. Not sure how recently implemented this is. If it is the case, I'm trying to make a educated decision (gamble) for myself. If this were still the old rules (365days until next board you can go up to), how would that affect me trying to get sponsored early next year if I were to get rejected? Would they still be willing to sponsor me with the idea that my package may not go to the next board, but instead the next board I'm eligible for?

FlatSpin Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Can an ART take a military leave of absense from their civilian job. ie: can i keep my airline seniority if i get picked up by the reserves? I know i can keep it up through seasoning but will i be forced to quit after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i can keep it up through seasoning but will i be forced to quit after that?Check out the "leaving the AF for the airlines" thread, its been discussed there. I'm fairly certain there is a legal requirement that you keep your seniority I will be putting in for the upcomming UPT board but I'm a little conused on the submittion date. On the recruiting website the powerpoint says packages are due dec 15 but i've been seeing on the internet that the date was moved up to November sometime. Where did this change come from and why is it not on the Official website?You may be confusing the active duty rated board with the OTS UPT board. The active duty rated board is for already commissioned active duty officers, and that board has had a submission date of November for the past 6-9 years at least. I have no clue about the OTS board.

Vixty Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I had to sign a ANG statement of understanding this past week and no where did it metion anything about the requirement for 6 years as an ART. So it looks like its still a reserve thing. I've been debating whether it would be best to try and work as an ART for a while and then try to get pickup up by the airlines, or just stay a TR and try to find some other kind of civilian flying gig. I'm thinking I should have close to 500 hours once I finish up my flight training. Is it pretty easy for a newly trained military pilot to get some kind of local flying gig with a 135 company or something of that nature? I assume thats what most do to get the 750 hours required for a restricted ATP with the regionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep your finger out of your nose when you interview and you'll be fine. I wouldn't commit to any long term ART or AGR right now until you have a seniority number. There will be plenty of flying at all squadrons. Talk around to the guys that are working civ jobs in your squadron I'm sure you'll here something similar.To all you new Upt hires... look at what's going on around you and learn. The guard reserve has HEMORRHAGED pilots the last three yrs. And what is AFRCs solution...? Improve quality of life? Try and make things better for aircrew? Nope they try and force people into the jobs that hundreds have just left... NO ONE is fighting to stay in ART jobs. Everyone's fighting to leave. It's never just one reason there is a push/pull theory at play here. The majors have got it figured out, and they have been pulling hard bc they know the game. The toxicity of our command is heart breaking. We are plagued with "leadership" who has had the luxury of a downturned pilot market and has commanded whatever they wished and people would stay. Now there are options and they don't know how to react bc this is an environment that current leadership has never known... until now. They had better learn quickly the doors open and people are walking towards it....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results should post around the second and third week of December. Most like the week of the 10th. That's when they posted last year for the fall board. Good luck to us both!

Herk Driver Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 BTW, the "mandatory" ART program has been officially scrapped. Word was recently sent to Wing and OG leadership. It is now back to the original intent of providing orders for new dudes to get some seasoning.

BUM15 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Did just the "mandatory" part get scrapped, or is it still available if wanted. Finishing up Herc FTU in a few weeks and was wondering if it's still an option ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarkou Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 What does it mean if you were selected as an alternate if you where unsponsored? If I just find sponsorship and I am good to go or does someone need to back out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I just saw the raw numbers. I'm pretty sure everyone who had a waiver was sponsored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
