Well, the top 20% didn't earn that. We should take it and give it to the bottom 20%...

Strong indeed...Should make for a good naming (or hostile renaming)!

Not totally true. We're ACC and are flying (very few sorties) since we have to maintain enough CMR pilots to fulfill our ACA mission.

One of our part time weapons guys is a postal worker and the stories he tells (as well as this story) are a testament to unions breeding laziness. My guess is the union will protect this person and not much will happen.

They are more worried about not offending that 1 person in the MAJCOM who gets offended by anything they don't like/agree with. We'll move on to less important things like developing our future leaders after we can go a whole year w/o 1 person being offended.

But to fuck their entire career, even when the FEB says you're good to go? That's just plain fucked up!

He wants that 2nd star...

If I were an A-10 dude, I'd be looking for a TX.

Are you kidding? Listening to the guys talk about pre-OEF/OIF days makes me jealous. I would love to get back to those days!

Awesome! Although I'm sure today, it would turned into you having tried to sexually assault some poor chick while on the way out of the chow hall. The next day, your name would be drug through the mud, your picture would grace the front page of the AF times calling for the court martial of this despicable officer.

Ya it's back to standard price. Picked it up yesterday for free. A good read so far.

Nah man, remember that C-130J hard landing in Afghanistan...

I had to send my XD45 compact back because of some major rusting on the slide (a known issue). Called them up, was asked a few questions and they e-mailed me a postage form (prepaid postage). Dropped the slide in a box, attached the form to the outside and had it in the mail an hour later. They refinished the slide and sent it back, with two new mags for my inconvenience. Their customer service was great!

The fact that you were even watching it is WTF worthy.

Hold on, I'll roll over and ask her...

Nice, being a DSG is one of the best jobs imaginable. Not the first and you will not be the last to do this is the next few years!

Copy all on the guaranteed interview. That reminds me, all the remaining Compass pilots (not part of the flow) have guaranteed interviews in seniority order. You are correct on them still needing to operate. They could hold a few back, but I don't see them doing that right away. They are planning on hiring ~180 pilots and upgrading ~130 to captain, by next summer. That's a lot of training but they also have a 5 month (minimum) head start. From what I have read, they have ~80 in a pool and are running a class a week starting in August. There are also provisions for street Captains if needed. I agree, it will be very interesting to see how they manage it...especially if they resort to street Captains.

To help manage expectations, there are about 300 pilots at Compass airlines that have flow through rights with Delta. 25% of the seniority list (~450 pilots) can flow in a rolling year, so that means ~115 will flow over to Delta by next summer. Delta assumes the November classes will be filled by voluntary furlough returnees, and Compass pilots to flow in December. This doesn't even touch the Pinnacle/Mesaba flows.

Yes...wait, no? Embrear 175/195ski. Sukhois shot at the MRJ market.

It probably would have turned out fine.

If they sell out, Vance's has it for $269 right now. https://www.vanceoutdoors.com/products2.cfm/ID/44732/name/ruger-lcp-380acp-centerfire-pistol

Shitty internet, fucked up my edit. Are you talking Reserves or ANG? It seems like there are quite a few guys doing this. Helps that some of them are at squadrons with an alert mission. Some dudes volunteered at the Guard Bureau to make this happen. I'm fairly certain i'll never get a 20 yr AD retirement...just wondering.

It's been a while ago, so it's a bit hazy. All I did was drop leave starting the day after my TDY, there was no amendment to my orders. When I got home I reported in and filled out my voucher noting I was on leave for the week following (so they didn't pay me per Diem). This was in the paper voucher/leave (988) days so I just put LV in the reason for stop block...not sure how to do it in DTS.
