Quite the opposite - being woke makes them shitloads of money (at least in the short term). They’ll go “un-woke” the second they can’t profit from it. Read Woke Inc - great book on this topic.

Are we talking about “traditional” liberal democrats or are we talking about progressive liberals? The latter are POS people who do not care about kids or this country. It’s time for the Democrats to punt these shitbags out of the party and force them to officially establish a 3rd party. Then we can get back to what the Democratic Party used to be and the newly formed Progressive party can run their candidates and policies unimpeded by moderate democrats. Of course that would result in them never winning because the majority of America does not support their lunatic ideas.

Agreed. I think Hamill, the MLB, etc. are dumb for their reaction to the GA voting bill, but they are more than welcome to speak their mind and take their business elsewhere. I certainly do both all the time - lots of businesses these days I choose not to give my money to.

This is easy, where do you predominantly live (180+/yr), WA or AZ? If you plan on snowbirding and living both places, then it’d be advantageous to spend 181 days in WA. Don’t overthink TDY time, reserve days, etc. - you know where you’re home/point of origin for travel is.

The speculated AA TA is hot garbage. If the truth is even close to that, I hope AA pilots aren’t dumb enough to vote yes.

You’re racist for asking that question

Pilot is OK.

By directly contributing to the enhancement of our #1 enemy’s military capability. This isn’t teaching Saudis, UAE, etc. (countries we’re not preparing to face in peer-level combat).

Glad that’s been your experience, but my experience with multiple large companies in the business world has been exactly what I stated. It’s pervasive and unfortunately probably a lot more planted than you think it is.

Which is all the antithesis of the “DEI” movement today. “DEI warriors” are the most exclusive, close-minded, hypocritical, racist, sexist, shittiest humans in this country. I could add more adjectives, but those will suffice for now.

I think that’s most bonus takers anyways. They were never really going to get out, so might as well take some extra money. Agreed it’s pretty dumb to stay in just because of the bonus.

Sure it’s possible, but why are you not going straight to applying for flying unit UPT boards? Either skip RPA entirely, or maybe consider it your backup gameplan and pull that trigger if/when UPT boards are not working out and you can’t stand waiting anymore/still have desire to serve.

Off my STS game yesterday, I blame the beer!

From a receiver perspective, the stiff boom thing seems overblown - 46 is about the same as a 10. I have no complaints/issues with it, except for the stupidity of the camera system.

You’ve hit the jackpot, take that money and run!

Maybe is implying manning is down in the ARC because of airline hiring. Yeah, that’s true to an extent. But he (and others) need to keep in mind days/dollars don’t just magically appear because of this. Wings can argue for more until they’re blue in the face, but they’ll get whatever congress decides to give them via budget decisions. We’re pretty lean right now, zero additional days to help that fact. “Do more with less,” or maybe it’s “go to the airlines now”…one of those…

The amount of blind faith you have in a large bureaucratic gov who repeatedly proves to not have your best interest in mind, and have no consequences even when caught, is astounding.

Honestly after the gross negligence fuckery displayed over the last couple years, no, covid vax is not the end of my suspicions and questions. Adapt to new information and change your approach, or keep your head shoved up your happy ass and continue trucking towards the proverbial cliff.

I was at a school board meeting where a black conservative spoke; some Woke white woman said, “that’s racist.” I shouted out, “I thought black people couldn’t be racist?!” Half the room clapped and cheered, the other half imploded and nailed the “toddler tantrum” vibe. Its like you can almost see the wires in their brain short circuiting and start to smoke. It was hilarious.

I concur with Pawnman and Hugo regarding legalities. But morally/ethically I think this leadership is being just as shitty as everyone above them still trying to shove a bullshit vax down people’s throats. Let it go and stop trying to force something useless (and harmful to some in the short term, unknown long term) on people who don’t want it. There is nothing logical about continuing down this road, especially at this point.

208 pages in - the answer is still “don’t do it!” and go enjoy a far better life in the ANG, airlines, insert-other-passion job, etc.

You already know this, but there is zero logical reasoning. People like Maj Dumbass referenced above are incapable of rational thought and lack all critical thinking capability. It amazes me how many “educated” Americans are in this boat.

Reading this started with a “wtf,” but grew to a “WTF!?!?!” when I got to the bottom of the article…

What an embarrassment for the human race. Glad that POS didn’t get on the city council.
