It has been this way for at least a year. Buddy retired as an O-4, prior E and didn’t have the 3 years pinned on.

2nd on reading Devotion, the movie was decent and worth the 3.25 in the desert. It left a lot out on the humor of Jessie Brown and his desire to fly and his up bringing. The flying scenes are decent and the director did his best to use actual planes and sets vs cgi completely like Red Tails. If you’ve got Paramount + watch it.

🖕🏻@FourFans130, you learned that the hard way didn’t you? but so true. Never trust a nav, especially ones that become pilots right?

~420 for an O-4 with dependents at Dyess.

Well if you haven’t heard by now Delta just made the bonus obsolete completely. They have now expanded when they will hire us from active duty. This was posted on their Pilot recruiting FB page, along with a story about it on their website as well. At Delta Air Lines, we are committed to recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent from the U.S. Armed Forces to better serve those who served us. As part of this commitment, we are proud to announce that we will begin interviewing and extending conditional job offers (CJOs) to retiring full-time active-duty military and full-time Active Guard Reserve (AGR) members, as an expansion of the previous process. For all other military members, we will also begin interview processes and extending CJOs to successful candidates 12 months prior to their availability date. “This process expansion will allow retiring service members to secure a job at Delta Air Lines while finishing up their patriotic duties over a period of up to two years and up to one year for all other military members,” said John Laughter, E.V.P. and Chief of Operations. “This will provide our service members and their families with the security of a career lined up and ready, while they make a life transition and get settled in the next chapter of their lives. On behalf of the entire Delta family, thank you for your service.” If you are a veteran, active-duty military, or active-duty military approaching retirement, visit our skills translator website below, which will match the skills and specialties you earned in the military to open positions at Delta Air Lines. https://www.military.com/mst/delta/mos-translator

border-patrol-agents-nab-dozen-suspected-terrorists-southern-border-august Not exactly shocked at this one bit. It was only a matter of time before we started catching some trying to cross the “closed” southern border.

Seat all the way up and it should be fine. We have plenty of vertically challenged people flying the Herk that haven’t complained about the hud issue. But if they get the Oregon aero cushion make sure it has the cut out in it like the west does. Btw the hud is projected from the ceiling not off the dash like a fighter si that’s why it doesn’t adjust. Does the hud in the airliners adjust?

What is causing this witch hunt? I’m purposely staying off that page for many reasons. While it does come across some of my feeds, the current bashing on finance is also pure gold right now.

I’d expect it once the gov has a full budget for the year and not these 6-9 week CR’s kicking the can down the road.

Neither does Texas, but you pay for it in property taxes for sure. Some states that have an income tax don’t tax your mil retirement. I don’t know why you would ever sell back your leave. Just take it and get the full amount of bah/bas/fly pay for those days.

Well there’s this nice little Av web story and the one referenced inside it as well. I’ll say this about this current bonus offering, who in there right mind would take this one? This offer isn’t going to go well for them this time.

AA just announced that they are hiring 300 pilots this year and 600 in 22. Plus the flow though from the regionals. Hope for the best for those that are about to get out. This years bonus rates should be interesting.

eBay it man. That’s what I’ve done. Still way less than buying it possibly even renting it.

I guess to justify this place? But how about the weekly Thursday white noise th eh play here? They are F’d if it ever went off for real.

Something to the effect of wanting all people in hardened facilities.

He’s getting challenged by Catalina Lauf, she ran in 20 against a Dem and didn’t win. She was one of many female’s running last time. She had more support this time from the Republican Party, which Imo she should have last time as well, and isn’t afraid to put America First and not just ride the coat tails of the tea party movement then do something else. Only time will tell.

I’ll add a third to that one as well. I really like their Tropical IPA as well. Yesterday I enjoyed a Victory Golden Monkey. Damn good Belgian style tripel, 9.5% ABV

Or the black like the Army? I still want to know who thought it was a good idea to make most of our ranks be that spice brown so you can’t tell what they are until it’s too late?

I’m in a similar boat, I’ve got 5 left to retire and 2 on my latest PCS. But talking to my buds in the airlines they are/ have taken a pay cut since they lost their jets, or going to be looking at furlough come oct. Even talking with a good bud right no he agrees sticking it out for the check of the month and medical is worth it for the safety blanket if and when something like this happens again. As for taking the bonus, can’t pass up free ish money. But you can’t turn down the 365, but if you where a free agent and got it at the 18 year point you’d be in a tough spot. I’d say stick it out take the money and either pay off things with it or set up a nice nest egg for when you need it. But that’s just my .02.

I know you couldn’t in 6.0. So I’d have to say that’s a no for 7.0 as well. As soon as you finish one self study course you can sign up and start the next. The only hold up was waiting for the allied classes to start. Now I did have success in getting them to let me move on in the self study while waiting for the applied to start.

Do you want to get a masters? Or just knock out ACSC? If you want to get the masters then do it and get credit for both. It should take about 18-20 months start to finish. I did it right at 30 months or so and took som time off of it, granted it was the captains course. I then knocked out ACSC 6.0 in less than 4 months with the classes I had to take that was left over from the OLMP. Even then 6.0 was easy. I’d expect 7.0 to be about the same.

John, thansk for all you have done here. That was a very good article explaining just WTF has been going on. Crazy to see VA above conventional right now. Especially since some of us are moving due to the gov telling us to, so in theory we should be good on employment for a few year for sure. these are crazy F’ing times for sure.

Sad cause it was only the honest truth being spoken there by the masses. Guess the Bobs didn’t like it.

Went up 113 for an O4 in Vegas. But last year it went down from the previous year so this bump is good. More than what you made in 18.

Don’t forget the profit sharing and auto 401k contributions as well with those numbers. Big blue will never come close to those. Also they say we are over manned in the FGO’s I’d know how when all the O-4’s are running out the door just about.
