HELLO Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Do you guys know which fighter squadrons don't allow their postings on Bogidope? I know Boise doesn't let them post, any others such as Ohio or other units?
goodflightcowboy Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Anybody know if Buckley is having a board this year?
Burger Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 @goodflightcowboyI was told by the POC that they "definitely won't have one in 2019, and most likely not in 2020, no idea beyond that." Monitor their website BuckleyPilotJob if you arent already. It is their own unique website for UPT/Rated applicants
pilot Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Is that the Buckley guy again on Reddit or something?
Burger Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Hey guys, So this is semi-related to this thread. Several Squadrons, as far as I have seen, do not allow UPT applicants to visit the Squadron during the UPT Application window. Does anyone know why that is? I understand thats the rule, but i am just curious why they would not want to meet the applicants before the interview? Would one's application be the sole factor? Seems like blind hiring? Maybe I am thinking too hard. Anyway, appreciate any and all inputs!

Because it would turn into a revolving door of backstabbing and ass kissing, and without your qualifications in front of us, you’re just another Boy Scout on a tour.
Ligma Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Is it a bad look if you reject an invitation visit a unit? Due to my proximity, it's just not financially possible for me to make two round trips (assuming I get an interview).
brabus Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Each unit is different...matt's is one perspective. The other perspective is visiting gives you and us an opportunity to interact and determine if this is worth going forward on (i.e. official interview). But to Matt's point, this visit should be accompanied by your resume/package (sts), because that absolutely matters and bad enough scores, GPA, etc. can absolutely tank your chances of an interview, no matter how good of a dude you may be in person.

What he said, just with more diplomacy. What do I need to search on reddit to find that thread, holy shit. No fighter pilot would very use that name! Edited April 11, 2019 by matmacwc

I emailed a few months ago and they said they weren’t doing visits. Some guys knew that and went anyway, judging from a post on here, and I’m curious as to whether that helped or hurt. Anyway congrats to all who got interviews, and best of luck!

Due to my proximity, it's just not financially possible for me to make two round trips (assuming I get an interview). I wouldn't say definitively either way but me visiting my unit before I submitted my application almost certainly helped to get an interview. I may have been given an interview if I didn't visit because of my resume but I can't say for sure and I don't regret going for a visit beforehand. Yes, it absolutely sucked financially to schedule two round trip flights while working on my PPL. Was it worth it? Well, I'm waiting for UPT so that's up to you. My advice is to search one-way on google flights (incognito so cookies don't raise your search dates) and find the cheapest flights not on the same carrier both ways. I was able to piecemeal like that, hell I took one airline to a connection and then another to my destination but that's a dangerous game to play... 1 1

It definitely is a "how bad do you want it" type of deal. Just gotta eat the costs to hope to be in the same position as you one day.
Burger Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Does anyone know if South Carolina or Jacksonville have sent out interview invites?

Idk what the gouge is on SC but I’ve heard that Jax is in the middle of deployment prep and crazy busy right now but to know that they’re working on it. The POC is going to reach out as soon as they get everything with the board squared away, but until then hang tight and wait for a call/email.
