  1. Yeah if you are 09+ you face the FSB and get no sep pay if selected...also not eligible for VSP
  2. but would you really expect them to use logic/sense in the decision making process?
  3. that's what I would think as well...but pure guess
  4. you guys realize these are aides/interns responding with canned letters to match the subject of what you wrote in about right?
  5. haven't logged into mypers and wont be able to for a few hours...does this matrix show 11Ms eligible for the expanded palace chase? or is the 13-65 from this summer still the most current info on that?
  6. is it still btw 2-6 left? I'm also assuming the same ole denial for everyone unless less than 18 mo. left?
  7. saw that 11Xs are not eligible for the expanded palace chase option.
  8. that didn't work, says my last certificates are revoked.
  9. i recently got a new CAC down range and now can't get into my webmail...keeps giving me certificate error....anyone have any solutions?
  10. no love for the 11Ms?
  11. false. C5 is 1 AC 2 Co-pilots for augmented
  12. Sounds like a failure in basic airmanship to me.... Its not like the 2.5% gs wasnt posted on the approach plate.......oh wait it is.
  13. going away next year too........
  14. this I'm not talking the queepy shit in those pubs. I'm talking the basic knowledge like thunderstorms, weather required for us to carry alternate gas, climb requirements for ifr departure procedures on ifr days, etc......i know you flew the mc-12 before and you should know that the mc-12 3-1 is a joke.
  15. It doesn't anymore.......it did up until a few months ago....granted dudes that were upgrading had a deployment before upgrading and had more than 250 in type, but still.
  16. the non standard-standards need to go. 90% of the time flying with dudes who try to do that flow bullshit I always have to call them out for skipping steps in a checklist. Using a checklist isn't cosmic, don't understand at all what all the pushback about using them is.....lets also remember than when we upgrade these LTs their 250 hours of UPT time counts.....I don't know any other airplane that allows upgrades like that.....as for the lack of GK, it's astonishing. Senior leadership even doesnt know the regs (you said you are at BAF, so you know exactly what I'm talking about). Shack Rolling down the runway and going heads down flipping switches is NEVER a good idea. My problem with the upgrades is the judgement factor. Like I said, 95% of the time they will do just fine, but when something actually happens, most don't have the ability to make the right judgement call......for example, you have a fuel leak that you can look out the window and see the fuel coming out of the wing....do you declare an emergency or not?
  17. I think the bigger problem with this community is the 200-hour wonder LTs thinking their shit doesn't stink. Won't listen to things MCs tell them (most of whom are IPs from a previous MWS), flip switches rolling down the runway and think that they know everything there is to know about flying...news flash, they don't.....another problem is upgrading these kids to be an aircraft commander when they have a whopping 600 hours of king air time flying from point a to point a. There have been countless examples out here of why these people should not be aircraft commanders because they can't make good decisions. Sure 95% of the time, the mission is mundane and they will do just fine, but its the 5% when the shit hits the fan and they have no idea what the hell they are doing. or what an SDP is and how it works, or the 11-202, or the 11-217....the list goes on....
  18. agree 100% with everything you said. It's amazing how this community handles even the basic regulations....
  19. only problem is, that exact procedure gets you killed in the MC-12 when you are in a climbing left turning stall.......
  20. As someone who is there now, it's still pretty bad.........
  21. not too sure why you are upset about the article, it's pretty factual...except maybe you could take the un out
  22. I went from an airplane with a FE to one without....and i definitely miss my FE.
  23. AMC doesn't do SEPT like ACC does
  24. Not trying be a dick but I'm pretty sure the engineers they built the plane know more about how it works than you do.. Hence why they wrote the checklist for you to run......
  25. all of these....
