Soooo....if someone was a new hire at SWA, and had a job offer at Delta, which one would the majority here pick and why? Bases not considered. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Southwest? That’s interesting. Even with the extended upgrades to left seat? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

If maximizing pay at an airline was your primary goal, which airline seems to be the best? (Besides FedEx) Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I know of a couple who were able to do some sort of “horse trading” etc to ensure that the wife (late rated UPT stud) ended up with identical orders to her husband who was a MWS guy. The caveat was that she had to “earn” the location. He had orders to a nice base but when she tanked UPT, they gave her the worst assignment for his MWS and AFPC amended his orders to match. So yeah it does happen. I would say be proactive. It might be a situation though where you get an assignment first and then they work through the FAIP drop to get her to join you later. That’s probably more likely than her getting early parole. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Or you do both. It’s not just people coming across the south border. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Yeah man, I just don’t see how they will get this info unless you disclose it to them. If you do, I could see them raising some sort of stink about it because it seems like that’s what they do best. Just remember these aren’t YOUR doctors, they aren’t there to treat you or diagnose you. It’s an interrogation, the less said the better. Just my advice.

Are these medical records something you have to turn over? The reason I ask is because I know a guy who didn’t disclose that he had a concussion snowboarding once and also had PRK laser correction surgery. I’m not advocating dishonesty, I’m also not advocating you telling them every time you had a drunken rager and hooked up with the ugly chick while in college.

Anyone ever have issues getting medical clearance from the ANG? I was medically cleared to Palace Front, then approved Palace Front by AFPC, hired by a unit with a position number but then have been sitting around for the last 2 months because the NGB won’t sign my medical clearance. Apparently my Guard unit sent it to the State who sat on it for a while then realized it had to be approved by the NGB (food allergy waiver while on AD). They sent it back to the unit who scrambled and sent it up to the NGB where it has sat for the last month and a half. It’s almost like the ANG doesn’t really need pilots I guess.

Sorry, I am a slow learner and not a very good listener. I’m also a slow learner. So when calculating ART Pay was the answer the $120K or the $120K + %? looking at going temp ART for a couple months. Thanks dudes!

During my interview at Southwest, the Captain interviewing me point blank asked me if I was considering Guard or Reserves. When I said I wasn’t sure, she told me that I should find a Guard unit and that my Active Duty time was too valuable to throw away. She then said that Southwest loves their Guard/Reserve guys. I thought they weren’t supposed to ask you about this, but she was just giving me professional advice to do both.

Just doing my part to free our fellow posters from the AF Stockholm Syndrome.

As advertised. I am now on terminal leave and also got s job with a major airline. Stress level zero and never been so happy in my life. Yes, it trumps UPT, PCS, Adv flying training ADSCs. The only thing that you need to check is the GI bill transfer of benefits eligibility. This is all from memory so please check me on this. If you decline continuation but separate at the mandatory 6 month date, you can keep your transfer benefits even if you still owe time on the ADSC. If however you try and move it up you MAY lose the transfer.

We did these “namings” for the students at my UPT base while I was an instructor. The Sq/CC always knew when we were doing them but I never saw him or the DO. I never had any issues with them in my flights but a couple of my buddy Flt/CCs had issues with students getting arrested by SF walking back to their dorms (gmafb)and another one had an issue where one student went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. In both cases, the Sq and Wg Commanders took care of it at the lowest level possible and life went on.

Haterz gunna h8.

How long does it take to get the whole thing processed and get the promotion order?

That checks with what I was told.

Yup. Ran into that one. The changes the rules between my 2nd and 3rd PC attempt. I pushed to test but they kept kicking it back until I got off the profile (torn rotator, no pushups).

How soon can the Guard put you up for O-5 when you have been twice passed over on AD? I heard as long as you don’t have a break in service, and you have the TIG and appropriate PME, they can put you up immediately. True?

A lot of people believe getting awards and strats put you on the path to being an HPO. It’s actually the other way around. Being an HPO wins you awards and gets you the killer strats. Unfortunately, there is NOTHING you can do to become an HPO, it is gifted to you and once it is, it basically takes blatant sexual misconduct to pull you off the path.

Rule #1 don’t talk about Baseops right?

Asking for a friend in the same situation I was in. Thank God I’m not on it!
