    From PA. Hope the best for the two on board.

    Well his machine gun was found... Do y'all see any realistic way in which he could have prevented this specific incident as a commander?

    Fairly certain that last C17 was JB Lewis-McChord not Charleston.
  5. LiquidSky
    It was.

    You mean while George flies right?

    GMT +9 in Kadena. It's early Monday morning. Edit: Disregard. Low SA. Assumed it happened today as it wasn't reported until now.

    That happened. Two classes 18-13 and 18-14 tracked without some studs finishing formation or in some cases even starting it.

    Last I heard was they still expect to be grounded for a bit, but classes will track anyway (for now) despite not completing the full T6 syllabus. Them starting backup Monday is new news to me.

    2015 (381) and 2016 (345) rotc numbers for comparison.

    By burying their heads in the sand and pretending there isn't a problem? Don't have to fix what you don't admit is broken. You already have some LTs from rotc waiting for nearly a year to enter active duty or spending a ridiculous amount of time on casual status. We have some of the highest paid gate guards, bus drivers, marshalers that can't marshal, etc. as a result of casual. I'm a little more concerned that the average pcsm of a pilot select Cadet is down 14 points, GPA down 0.13, Pfa by 1.5. CSOs are down by similar numbers as well. Do y'all think that there will be a noticeable difference in quality of the average stud? Or a higher washout rate as a result? Obviously these #s aren't the best metric in the world to predict flying ability but I would expect to see some future correlation.

    Interesting, what is the standard O2 delivery percentages? Is it auto-100% with weight on wheels then variable in flight based on cabin/aircraft altitude? Because pretty much of the IPs (and some studs) actually fully wear their mask on the ground. Aside from the required checks I always see it hanging when they taxi by. I would assume that in the hammerhead or holding short they put it on. Again for it being primarily IPs my two thoughts are it's either a backseat issue (studs normally in the front except instrument rides) or they just have more SA.
  21. LiquidSky
    Doesn't the O2 bottle deliver 100% O2 though? So if it truly were hyperoxia that would be exactly the wrong thing to do vs. say descend and drop the mask. If they already have a new boldface directing crews to the O2 bottle I would assume that they ruled out hyperoxia and it's either foreign contaminants in the OBOGS, some form of CO/CO2 poisoning, or the OBOGS is malfunctioning and not supplying sufficient O2 quantities leading to hypoxia.
  22. LiquidSky
    That's some scary shit. I don't know what they're doing differently there but I wouldn't want to be flying their tails. Have they all been rear cockpit? I know all but one were IPs... Or maybe the studs just have low SA and don't even notice the difference in the front.
  23. LiquidSky
    At Vance?

    To make sure I'm tracking, are you're saying that the bar to starting upt needs to be set higher than a college degree and 90 days at ots? Or that it's right where it belongs and in testing out the E program we're lowering the current bar too far? Control is an interesting thought, but I would be shocked if they're thinking that many moves ahead. My money is on this being yet another poorly attempted cost saving bandaid that is ignoring the root cause of both pilot production and retention rates.

    There is no way a current upt stud out of phase 2 could go directly to the B course. Unless they're a prior atp or what have you. They can barely read an approach plate much less fly a multi leg mission. They're used to a very responsive and forgiving plane that it's easy to get back from mistakes in. And if it's into Fighters they've got less than 20 hours of formation flying under their belt before being shipped to iff. There is something to be said for time in the seat and I don't think there is anyway that you can effectively shorten it to 6 months in the Texan without severely handicapping the end product.
