Good stuff

Good point. Wonder what the ball park figures are to support the North and its people post conflict.

The key words are additional cost to the government (like you had to stay an extra day and got the per diem, etc.) I believe if you get bumped with no additional government cost you could keep the $ but then couldn't claim delay-related expenses. I read that as only pertaining to the follow on flight, not the compensation. I read it that if you are given compensation from the airline, it belongs to the govt.

And what airline pays in cash/check?

I found this gem 3. Involuntarily Denied Flight Boarding. A traveler who is involuntarily denied boarding on a flight must contact the TMC to book a new flight if a subsequent flight cannot be provided without additional cost to the Government. Any compensation for the denied seat belongs to the Government (59 Comp. Gen. 203 (1980)). The traveler must request that the carrier show the “Treasurer of the United States” as payee on the compensation check, in accordance with DoDFMR, Vol. 9.

Its being done already. Baby steps.

AMMO troops are usually first in either covertly or sub covertly so I would imagine they would need replacements pretty quickly due to the attrition rates. I'm sure you'll get your notches in your belt. Good luck.

The 2 in the title normally denotes the second of the series of movies....

Pilots and drafts don't go together anymore. We'll be out of airframes long before the draft selects the first pilot for whatever training is left to be had.

Yeah, give that brief with a straight face.

"fix it"? You mean withdraw all troops from there? That's what it would take to fix humans.

Mine was just waived on a new card. Last month.

Thanks :)

Don't spend money on it. 7.5 hr or more Airline movie only.

Cops are Arming Group A so they shoot twice a year on primary weapons. That doesn't make it any better.

Does the AMEX annual fee refund automatically apply to new cards picked up after the initial card fee waiver?

That is very sharp looking. Very fitting.

Also, CTO still booked the travel anyway. If my AO approves then what is the point of them saying its not "legal" but booking it anyway.

Yeah, just did a bit of googling and the city pair fare from orf>lhr is $478ish. Tucson area>LHR is $800ish. JFK>LHR is only $300 so it would be saving money. I guess I'll call CTO Monday and explain more.

I don't know why this is an issue every time I attempt it. I get told 18 different things by 16 different people. Attempting to go from LHR>JFK>ORF. Langley is my TDY location. Then am going to book my own (miles) to Tucson for a couple days leave. Optimum would be to fly home (LHR) from Tucson. Attempted to do that and CTO said the following FLIGHT COMMENTS: CANNOT FLY ON GOV RATES FROM A LEAVE LOCATION DELTA WILL ALLOW A STOP IN JFKAmended my tickets to pickup the Heathrow return from JFK. Then they kicked back for this.** CANNOT FLY OUT OF JFK YOU MUST HAVE A ROUND TRIP FROM ORF THE AIRLINE WILL ALLOW A FREE STOP IN JFK BUT YOU MUST FLY ORF JFKSo basically they are telling me I have to fly out of ORF which is stupid and probably costs more money. Can someone crack the code for me?

PCS into DM in late January. Timing for a TDY early November will allow for a stateside trip to look at houses. Is greater than 60 days from intended move in too ambitious to see something and put an offer down with a closing of late mid to late January?

Was he back flying sorties after reintegration?

I have reached out to my local folks but wondering if there are any outside sources.

Can someone point me to a good source showing numbers of pilots that were downed in a combat theatre and subsequently rescued/returned to service in the same theatre? Any data or sources would be appreciated.

It doesn't show up under Products/credit cards? It's the first option that shows up for me? It says "online pilot" though.
