B747CSO Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Did anyone hear back from the 197th ARS in Arizona about interviews?
NotApilot Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Late post, but got the call earlier this month from the 130th RQS at Moffet Field that they selected me along with one other person to fly with them. If you're the other person shoot me a message!
airplaneguy135 Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 Got the TBNT email from Memphis, good luck to everyone who got the invite!
163FS_UPT Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 The 163rd is now accepting UPT applications to fly the mighty A-10C in the great state of IN! See attached announcement for details. Please read carefully and follow the directions as stated. If you have any questions about the application, the A-10, or the Blacksnakes, don't hesitate to ask. 2022 163FS Application Announcement.pdfFetching info... 2 1
red Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Anyone hear back about interviews for the 190th yet? 1
163FS_UPT Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 I have been receiving a lot of emails asking if we will be hosting any rushing events or allowing visitations. In order to be able to evaluate each applicant equally and without potential bias, we will not be hosting or allowing base visits during our application window. If selected for an interview, you will have plenty of time to get to know the Blacksnake’s. 1
Rated Flyer 4 Life Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Has anyone heard of guys/gals who were rated pilots in other airframes who then later transitioned over to a guard/reserve fighter slot?

Thinking that they would've notified interview selects by now, unless they miraculously extended their own deadline. Expand The posting said interview candidate announcements would come between Dec. 1st-5th. So I'm assuming we didn't get interviews. I did try emailing them for feedback but haven't heard anything yet from that either.

brabus Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 TX slots are not numerous, chances of success are pretty much 100% if your transitioning from another fighter (vs. coming from a non-fighter background), and if you do TX from a non-fighter, you’re starting over as the “young, inexperienced” guy…except you’re a Maj instead of a LT/young Capt. Those are the three big hurdles. Not impossible to get past, but it’s hard, even for the greatest bros out there. 1
Rated Flyer 4 Life Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Makes sense. I guess it all comes down to money at the end of the day. I guess if we were in a large scale conflict or if the demand would outweigh the cost you would see things like this happening more often. What about a guy transitioning from a heavy to a bomber?
pknguyen44 Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Friends, One of those "long time stalker, first time poster" dudes. Is anyone here with the 181st AS or know a POC to talk to about future rated pilot hiring? Thanks in advance for any and all help, Happy Holidays!
jason6213 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 I could just be overthinking things with the holidays and all, but has anyone heard back from the 314 ARS at Beale on interviews?

Expand I wouldn’t expect to hear anything until next week at the earliest. Most units do minimum manning for the holidays so it’s probably been at the very back of their minds. Good luck, I was going to apply before I got picked up at another unit. I grew up in that area and would love to go back one day.
WannaBpilot Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. Wanted to check here to see if anyone heard from the Texas ANG out of Fort Worth on their upcoming boards?

GreenArc Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Anybody here who submitted to the 100th FS F-35s get a response confirming receipt of application package? I believe they said they would within a few days, and to reach out if you didn't get that. I know it hasn't even been a week, but just figured I'd ask here! Best of luck to those who applied!
