Dad is pretty much over it. His symptoms weren’t too bad he says. Slight fever and body aches. My mom is feeling pretty rough though. She has pretty much most if not all of the normal symptoms. Hers have been pretty strong for the whole time and she’s over the 10 day mark now and still feeling rough. Her symptoms came a few days after my dad. She hasn’t had to go to the hospital though. Mainly just laying low and resting it off. They are 70 and 69. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just for some data. My parents both got the J&J about 2.5 months ago. Both tested positive for covid about 10 days ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When was the last time a pilot group wasn’t offered a bonus? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think I’ve seen a bigger slap in the face to a community than this. Absolutely shameful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wills is a fraud. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. Listened to him speak about a year and a half ago, talking to a room full of majors and senior captains. Here are some things he said. (if not verbatim, pretty damn close). 1. “If the grass is greener on the other side, go ahead and jump over the fence.” He went on to basically question our patriotism. 2. “I’m not going to ask you what I could do or what the Air Force could do to keep you.” 3. When questioned about going to a professional pay system like doctors, he first acted as if he had never heard of pro pay and then he asked “can any of you perform surgery?”

Current graduation rates have to be less than 1 washout per class doesn’t it? Making this about graduation rates seem to be beyond ridiculous.

Wtf

To all those people that defend him with “it’s not about the flag”. This totally undermined that argument. Directly from the guy that started it...

What state and how difficult was it to get tested? Glad you are doing alright. Hope the GF gets back on her feet soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anybody wants a synopsis of Maj Gen Wills briefing today at Vance.... - UPT is great work. (I don’t disagree, I happen to like it) - Retention is his problem, not ours. So we should do the best we can do teaching students. - He acted as if he had never heard of considering pro pay for pilots., when compared to doctors and how they get paid. He half serious asked how many of us new how to perform medical procedures as if they are on another level. I wanted to ask how many of them know how to fly but I’ll admit I don’t have the stones to do something like that. - He said that $35k was really good for the bonus. - He said they couldn’t compete with airlines. (I don’t disagree but they could at least try... somewhat) - He said if someone wants to get out that they should and he’s fine with that and wouldn’t try to get them to stay. Basically stating what’s done is done and not seeing if anything could be done to keep them in. - He said the way they can make things better is to get rid of the queepy stuff and gave an example of how many regs have been gotten rid of. I don’t know what I expected him to say. My opinion to how he discussed retention was that we shouldn’t worry about it and honestly that he doesn’t care that much. He, again in my opinion, said that we should be doing this for service and if we wanted more than that, we should seek greener pastures. Honestly pretty disheartening to hear how he discussed it thinking about future pilots. We can produce all the pilots in the world but if we don’t have any older/experienced guys around, we can never produce the the seasoned ACs/Flight Leads/IPs that the Air Force needs.

Down $108 0-4 w/dep in Enid. Sure glad PIT is backed up. Gonna be under the new rate getting there now. Housing is surprisingly expensive in Enid, can’t believe it’s down that much.
