  1. You do realize the difference between 20 knots early and 20 knots late (and a gear overspeed) is 3-4 seconds.... right ?
  2. If your surroundings have any bearing on your faithfulness, drunk or otherwise, get divorced now. It’s only a matter of time and will be a lot cheaper this way.
  3. Interviews in order of difficulty: -united -southwest -american -delta/fedex (no experience with ups)
  4. Getting your app to the 99% solution will take 6 months.
  5. You may be late My general recommended timeline: (Times back from when you want to get your first paycheck from an airline) -Start networking, reading forums, paying attention to peers getting hired, considering a run at the airlines: start of last assignment or two, no less than 3-4 years out Hit publish on the 50% solution app: > 1 year out. -Have app polished and refined to the 90% solution: 1 year out. -Start interview prep in earnest: 1 year out -Feel fully prepared, app at 99%, suit ready, resume ready: 6-9 months out -Start “practice” interviews, lock down backup jobs at airlines that aren’t #1 or 2 on your list, regionals: 6 months out
  6. Overlord was excellent. Take your significant other, it’s a knee spreader.
  7. If it’s outside footage (security camera, etc) it’s not
  8. Why destroy a fancy watch in the cockpit? go get a $20 g shock
  9. I’ve had good luck with my STATE VA rep. Very aggressive and smart with a wealth of experience and an axe to grind.
  10. And JPRC. Unknown if relocated.
  11. You’re a special kind of stupid aintcha?
  12. The medical benefits of an active duty retirement are worth about $1k/month ....
  13. Of course it was
  14. Why would you be up at 0430 ? That’s gotta be either a great binge or terrible idea or both.
  15. So all the standard stuff, but with a more rigorous level of documentation. Sounds great.
  16. An overstep is an overstep ....
  17. If he wants receipts less than $75 I’d kindly tell him to go fuck his hat ....
  18. Or, if you’re a youngun and have the time and motivation .... keep a civilian style logbook where you note the time that your aircraft starts and stops moving under its own power. I think its it’s a little harder to defend in an interview...but it’s certainly valid.
  19. They can’t force you to accept a longer Adsc. But it they can waive the Adsc and do what the originally wanted anyway
  20. The 7-day clock starts from assignment NOTIFICATION. not orders, or rips. Technically they don’t even have to tell you to notify you. The Adsc stuff would be from PCS date of report (if I recall Correctly). If a 3- or 7- day opt is even a remote possibility you need to get smart on the separations and assignments AFIs now.
  21. Have a healthy cynicism and keep your eyes open .... but don’t have a chip on your shoulder until you’ve earned it. You may be the unicorn ... the af may do right by you. It might be awesome with great leadership and bountiful opportunities to pursue a life of religious fulfillment all along the way. I’d hate to miss out on it because of the ramblings of bitter assholes on the Internet. (It probably won’t ever happen ... but it could. You could be the one!) (Maybe.) (But probably not.)
  22. That ship sailed long ago. And its much much worse in the civilian world.
  23. 4...stop hitting 3!
  24. So if your CC is “part of the problem” ... on a large or small scale... you’re screwed?
  25. 8hrs in the airline world...
