  1. I meant flying a predetermined route.
  2. Is that different than the AF?
  3. Why do you think the guys flying Uav's in the Army are happier then the AF? Different environment with different rules? Did everyone who went from a fighter to Rpa end up back in a manned aircraft?
  4. Based on use or quality of crews?
  5. If the AF made it more family friendly by increasing Qol and decreasing hours would people stay?
  6. Are the guys who signed up for this happier than the guys coming from manned cockpits?
  7. You exude such class.
  8. Loosing 2 hours commuting 6 days a month would get old.
  9. Are alerts manned 24hrs?
  10. Does Homestead have an alert or is that Jax? Someone on here said that his friend was working at Home Depot because be couldn't find a job. Reserves are good for airline work and that's about it.
  11. How many days away from home?
  12. Vandenberg is nice.
  13. Haha, APC is a good forum. I would also recommend jetcareers and flightinfo.com. Airlines are a lot like the military. Furloughs, high divorce, and lots of time away from home. Throw in bankruptcy,working holidays, nights and weekends. Oh and pay cuts.
  14. If you want to go to the airlines. Is it worth the risk of hoping to get on with a major which is no guarantee and then hope you can get AD back without pissing off the airline who invested money in you. Do what makes you happy. 30 years at an airline is going to make you unhappy either way.
  15. If you were going based on opinion why would you choose the AF, you would be crazy not to choose the Navy.
  16. They seem to disagree. https://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/would-you-do-it-again.42794/#post-809524
  17. Airwarriors.com
  18. Why don't they just combine it with UPT like the Navy?
  19. Didn't Rainman go from helos to fighters?
  20. https://www.city-data.com/forum/los-angeles/1353944-many-reasons-we-love-lancaster-ca.html
  21. I get that. But they're still encouraging people to join.
  22. No,I'm not here to pick a fight. I'm just trying to figure out why everyone on here is bitter and other branches are not. If you check out Airwarriors as an example you have folks who encourage people to join. You have old timers telling stories and exciting the next generation. You don't have that here. So,is AD not as bad as people on here make it out or are the Navy/USMC prouder of their sevice? You tell me.
  23. Interesting,it sounds right that CA would try it. So in essence you could be double taxed if the court wouldn't have shot it down.
