Not holding out much hope for that.

100% serious. As long as I can get continued to 24, then the bonus means I'll get paid like a LtCol, at least. I'll post my redacted PRF when I'm not on leave.

Well boys, looks like 1206's and being in the top 20% of your wing's FGO ranks is not enough to get promoted. I guess either way I can stop filling out awards packages and worrying about it.

Meh. Every election is the most important election of a lifetime, until the next one.

So if I read the Navy one right, we now all have to resign for being associated with you. Me. I defended Franken when that happened, because the whole thing was sheer idiocy. But it is the logical result of the witch hunts to burn everyone who has ever made a mistake in how they treated a woman or a minority. I'd be very surprised if we don't see some of the democrats in the primary accuse others of this kind of thing. Likely from 20+ years ago. We're already seeing some of it, as Kamala Harris accused Joe Biden of having a poor civil rights track record.

Of course he's stationed at Dyess...

Heard the same thing from a guy passed over with a DP. It's when I started submitting 1206s every single quarter.

I mean, that is objectively not true. We promote more people than we give DPs to.

Sorry bud. Don't let the Air Force promotion system define your worth as a person or an officer. Take the long weekend and reset. Obviously you'll have some disappointment to work through, but don't stay in that disappointed mindset forever. Again, sorry bud. We're here for you if you need us.

All I remember about Schwartz is blues on Monday. As a young dude, I thought Welsh was awesome just for ending that. Who knew that he'd then preside over the most mismanaged and haphazard force shaping in the post-Vietnam era.

Are you saying you have the list? Can I drop you a PM to see if I'm on it?

You always pin on the first of the month. If line numbers 100-500 pin on in September, and your line number is 101-499, you pin on September 1.

Nothing yet. Even my boss, former SQ/CC, hasn't been able to pry the info out of the exec.

Maybe they delayed the major release so there would be enough officers to actually do a promotion party.

Folks love the idea of enlisted and WO pilots, as if we'll find people smart enough to fly airplanes but too dumb to figure out the airlines pay better.

That's because they believe they are smarter than the rest of the force. They can't fathom the idea that others have already considered these options and either implemented or discarded them.

Can confirm. I have a Citizen Skyhawk and it's great.

Your line number will populate as soon as the release comes out, but it isn't part of the public release.

Depends on if AUAB becomes a tax free location again once the shooting starts. Also...fuck you. But in a jovial way, not an angry one.

Is that because everyone eligible to bail already has?

So can I start counting on that tax free yet, or...?

If yelling at people is enough to get removed, the pilot retention crisis is about to get a lot worse.

You're just trying to get downvoted back to 777.

Didn't they do a one year bonus for a little while recently?

Gotta say, I didn't see anything in there that warrants removing him from the position.
