^this. One time a WIC grad showed up looking to get checked out and didn’t know what the VFR sectional markings meant or anything about ctaf, class g etc. It’s worth a bit of study. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I know some FW guys who decided it was quicker and better long run to go get hours in the regionals for a year to break 1,500 rather than stay AD. Some spent only 6-9 months at the regional and were quickly picked up by a major. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

No kidding. I was considering renegotiating if I could get the higher rate but F that. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

New guidance on MyPers open to sign up. 11F: 35k for 3-12 years, choose your length. 100k up front for 7-9 yr, 200k for 10-12 years. Looks like for legacy dudes if you want to stay longer and renegotiate you’ll keep your current rate of $25k. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Any of you guys have an LLC or small business and if so, what’s the best tax software? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The one time I could’ve been bit by conveniently “forgetting” my GTC was when my jet broke at Hill and I needed a ticket from SLC but Delta wouldn’t give me a govt rate without the GTC. Called my RA who told me to use my personal at the more expensive rate. Expected to get a talking to as a Capt but never heard a word. I never use my GTC.

Heard summer 19 VML is out as well. Any truth? Makes sense to get them both out early, VML before the ACP. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

There must be more to the story here. If the test guy says it’s a big deal, there is probably a technical detail about “how” it was done missing from the article. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m watching a Documentary on Netflix called “Tanks” and its terrific on the rise of tank technology, then when the counter tech was developed for different tank generations, how quickly it changed strategy and approach to battle. I saw a lot of similarities between it and aircraft capes. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

These stories are great to affirm USAF f-ckery and our support. Once as the only US person on an entire U.S. support base flying combat missions at the time I was denied the ability to do my overdue PT test because as they put it, “Sir, since you are not here under a US PERSCO, giving you a PT test could get flagged in the system CONUS when we report our PT stats.” I understood it was a unique situation when Amn x was afraid to get in trouble but I engaged SNCO’s and FGO’s on the matter who didn’t have the leadership or decision making ability to have support personnel provide support to someone doing an actual mission. This was after I showed them the regs allowed it. Showed me that there is a huge leadership void at officer and enlisted levels and a focus on processes vs tasks.

I think he has a point. I know a few fighter pilots who only flew because they got a pilot slot back in the day. They are fine but it’s not their passion. We have a saying that there are fighter pilots and there are pilots who fly fighters. When I see a fighter pilot General with 24 years and 1,700 hours flying time, I can usually tell what the career focus was. And f-ck you, pay me plus give me flying hours in a sweet location.

The real way to fix this would be to have pilots simply fly and do minimal qweep, which would instead be done by dedicated support personnel embedded in the sq. Imagine flying, studying and if not on the schedule, free to hit the gym, go home etc with no guilt or fear that just doing your job is going to get you and your family screwed over come assignment time. That’s how it should be. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Are you getting out soon? If not, go buy a private plane, build hours for the mins. Unless something changes, expect regionals til you can make the jump. Getting the mins for ATP is probably the big hurdle. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Really sad that is all it takes to lose your career these days. He’ll probably have a great stint at Delta though and people seeing this example are that much more likely to follow him out. Big loser here is retention, again. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
