  1. You don't go direct to Osan. You go to Seattle, sit in SEA-TAC forever, then fly to Misawa, and sit there for hours and hours and hours, and then you fly to Osan. Commercial is way better.

  2. Its taking the AF close to 20 years just to build a 767 Tanker based on a jet first flown in 1982!, I'm not worried, You'll all be retired way before this happens.

  3. Personally I'd take the LICWO route. The rotator to Osan is an ass pain; commercial direct to Seoul is the way to go. I bet there's a pretty solid chance you can book what you want and not pay a dime out of pocket, or if you do it'll be very minimal. I would take a serious look at it with SATO before you scoff that option.

  4. Well, when your separation/retirement application is subsequently denied...you wouldn't want to have "given up your vote" would you? It's actually a bit amusing how much so many of the military processes (like assignments) are similar to other big government processes (like social security). You don't have a choice but to do it, and you aren't going to get anything from doing it. Just do it. Like I said, amusing, eh? Making you pick one preference is like the government's inability understand that the dude with AIDS has a point when he said he doesn't think he should have to pay that social security tax.

  7. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/22/pentagon-plans-replace-flight-crews-full-time-robo/ ALIAS envisions a tailorable, drop‐in, removable kit that would enable the addition of high levels of automation into existing aircraft to enable operation with reduced onboard crew. (Image: DARPA) By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times Tuesday, April 22, 2014 The Pentagons research agency tasked with developing breakthrough technologies for national security has come up with a plan for dealing with shrinking budgets: robotic flight crews. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently working on technology that will be able to replace up to five crew members on military aircraft, in effect making the lone human operator a mission supervisor, tech magazine Wired reported. PHOTOS: Dramatic moment USS Gonzalez executes an incredible 180-degree hairpin turn The Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) would offer the military a tailorable, drop-in, removable kit that would enable the addition of high levels of automation into existing aircraft to enable operation with reduced onboard crew, DARPA said. Will it put the gear down, find the right airport or smoother air for the next plug?
