And that matters because???

I was a T-37 IP at Reese when they brought the T-1 into the mix, and it was sold as a way to extend the life on the T-38s while providing more realistic training for the heavy drivers. I personally don't think it led to the reduction in wash-outs (see below). FY91 was also the beginning of the "Banked Pilot" program, where we had too many pilots and not enough seats for them to sit in. The AF cut way back on pilot slots (my first full class as an IP at Reese had 6 students for 16 IPs in the flight), which IMHO led to a slightly higher quality of student going through the program because it was more competitive. We definitely had less "problem students" than in the past... Just one ORF's opinion.

Your loss. You might learn something...

Wouldn't that be "Cutting Boxes"?

Not necessarily true in all cases. These guys sell nothing--they simply look at your current financial situation and advise you how to better invest your money. They're wealthy because they're smart with their money... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

One question to ask when looking for a financial advisor... "Are you wealthy?" If they aren't (most aren't, or they wouldn't be working as a financial advisor to begin with), then why would you let them manage your money? There are a few who truly do it to help people, and most are independently wealthy due to their knowledge of finance. I personally know of two retired O-6s who do it pro bono...

Good point. We all have to start somewhere though...

Spawn of PYB? Maybe he's reproducing...

Clarify please. Was he a prior C-130 IP, or a prior C-130 pilot/copilot now instructing in T-6s? It matters...

Rat--suffice it to say you have no idea what you're talking about. You're the FAIP that makes every other FAIP cringe, because you don't know what you don't know. Take the advice of an old FAIP--STFU, listen more, and talk less. You, and your entire community, will be better for it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

Unfortunately, he's not exaggerating Champ. As an ORF sim instructor, we have a bunch of brand new LTs fresh from UPT who are working on their AAD while going through initial qual. Their GK sucks because they're spending more time on AMU/Touro/E-R than in the Dash-1/3-3.

Checks...a classmate of mine had 2600 hrs, was a CFII and commuter pilot, and couldn't find his ass with both hands in the Tweet or -38. Hooked EVERY checkride in UPT at least once (one twice)...

Chem, Relax and enjoy the next 9 months, because beginning in May you're going to be busting your butt for about 3 years to become fully qualified in whatever aircraft you end up in. The AF will teach you what you need to know, and IMHO you're honestly not going to gain much by studying ahead of time. If you're hardover on studying ahead of time, go to the AF Pubs website, search for AFMAN 11-217, and start reading...just remember most of what you read will not apply to anything you're going to do at UPT.

Got the same warning for the first time today using Firefox...

FIFY

YGBSM...where do they go? Unbelievable. In the big picture, maybe this is good news. We (you, as I have retired) have nowhere to go but up...

Has anyone even washed out of these schools? Serious question...

Ouch... https://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/08/12/testicle-biting-fish-may-be-invading-denmark/?test=latestnews

Then you probably shouldn't be talking about them...

He spells it "Hu"...

Now that's some funny $hit right there...

Tried to end it as a Chief Pilot, and was told to shut up and color . You are (were?) in a much better position to do something...

Saw it for my entire career (11M). One of the reasons I chose to retire at 20...

Another good article from Tony Carr. It's focused on the enlisted, but equally applicable to the officers... https://www.jqpublic-blog.com/?p=431 This is in response to the AF Times article referenced in post 565 of this thread.
