Crazy vs hot scale Ewok vs T-Rex James Bond’s mistresses

Oh yeah, and don’t forget the more than hyper-active speed almost plad-fast, super maneuverable, AI fighter/bomber…driven by R3D3 and/or Dot Matrix (aka a Winnebago).

Very gracious of you for the benefit of the doubt.

...and it's the spare

Ha, checks…

That’s a good $0.02

Good test of DEI theory however, give DEI their own pilot training wing like days of past (what is old is new) see if they can do better powered by DEI espirit de corps.

Not yet…but 2 Senators from Mississippi are trying with NDAA amendment

How should someone determine what it is worth? Or what about how much their time is worth? I posit analysis such as these are the most common, portable comparisons...doesn't mean it's the only measure, however should be part of one's calculus. It certainly informs the financial analysis part of that calculus. If you're a military flying addict, then being knowledgeable of it is important. It's easier to inform the portion that flying low level is fun; not much fun-analysis needed there!

Found this gem of a website..our very own US govt CPI inflation calculator...wonder what analysis of AvB will reveal: good, bad, ugly, or fair deal? Spun it twice, and it wasn't so nice. Have a try yourself!! (Oct 2021 vs Oct 2022 comparison, lost $2,558.54 in value) (Oct 2017 vs Oct 2022 comparison....the bonus would need to be presently $42.1k/year for parity...lost $7,115.27 in purchasing power and it hasn't been addressed..that's 20.3% of its original purchasing power) Background data/ref' here: FY2017 was when it was made $35k

You’re right…they have a price…and borrowing at these bond interest rates will kill us too!

its better than sunscreen..or a COVID shot! (wonder if it'll come back…)

Do nuclear detonations count as instantaneous climate change? Or is that too much political spin?

…meanwhile another interpretation: it reads like the whole world will be skipping, happily together in-hand if they follow American values and present international order (whilst somehow following and fighting for their own country’s) and we will all be Free, Open, Prosperous, and Secure…unless there is bad people spoiling the festivities, then together we’ll do…something, like share information with those who share our values.

She had a good run, I suspect Father Time.

Any islands nearby?

I agree that they’re finding the line of economic balance and politics, however the economics quickly catches up and appears more dire than politicians desire. I think it is a game of depression hot potato.

I saw different this morning, unless Im missing something. The jobless rate went down, even though we were below expected qty of new jobs, which also doesn't bode well for interest rate hikes, the FED needs a recession and wealth destruction to stop this inflation. That mean sparking massive joblessness (thr pain the FED says). It might come at a horrible moment and convergence of many other unfortunate global factors. No doubt we are in an economic war and worsening in its intensity globally. My question is will it trigger QoL entitlement demands and war in other arenas? Aka everyone fighting to “get theirs”. If yes, then all hell will break loose, liquid assets are king (maybe not fiat cash), and opportunities will be abound but at the expense of others since the money supply isn’t changing much. What side of the equation you’ll/we’ll land on is the real question https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/10/07/jobs-report-september-2022.html

‘Yes men’ at work…nothing to see here, move along (accessions/attrition that is)… a deep level of mistrust exists, one for some that has been brewed for at least 2 decades…that will not buff out for a few generations, that is the accessions’ headwind senior leaders are facing. A headwind of their own manufacturing by decisions past, many from ‘yes people’

The valleys and tunnel before the Alps, Swiss/German/Italian/Austrian/etc., are great. What beautiful landscape, it's fun to hike those peaks!

Remember this program is only $15k/yr increase over AVB (50k vs 35k)…they're not additive programs…

Red teaming this: So they’ll run out of $, maybe, thus BoP will go only to those hard to fill locations (i.e. Del. Can.-Kun. Etc.)…

Ask the Tanker PEO and PM...the lifecycle pressure is still there guaranteed https://www.wpafb.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2135438/tanker-peo-highlights-guiding-principles-and-tips-for-success/
