How can you say not much is being done?  They started a facebook page...

My boy was a functional at AFPC. He got fired after he didn't create a FB page. I was telling him I received a notification about the FB page my functional created. Definitely caused a flashback for him....

Any rumors on the FY 19 take rate?

Take rate for all eligibles is 20.3%

Take rate for initial eligibles of pilots on manned fixed-wing platforms is 34%

So how can we say we have "stemmed" the pilot shortage???

School list doesn't drop until next week - that release will change things somewhat. It'll still be lower than desired & needed.

Wow. I wonder what the lowest take rate in history is.

AF: “We have a massive pilot shortage! They’re leaving in droves. We need more money to fix this.”

Congress: “You’re not getting more money, and It’s beginning to sound like you’ve been mismanaging your organization...”

AF: “Actually, we just fixed everything. We’re good now.”

Doesn't matter.  With the amount of people turning down school, every alternate and even some not on the alternates list will be going.  If you're not punching, and you're not a total shit bag, you're going to school.

This was shared on TPN fb group with regards to Goldfein's comment. Unsure how recent it is.

Okay....

Im saying there will be an end of August bump based on the list going public, no comment on the quality of dudes - going merely a comment on the data.

Today I learned I am a total shitbag, because I did not go to school.

I guess I was the bottom ~25% of my year group according to the Air Force.  Maybe I should start working like the shit bag Big Blue believes I am.  Come in late, two hour lunch, gym at about 2, go home after the gym...

The new guys on here better start posting more before baseops.net itself pays back the unearned part of its bonus, separates, and finishes up reserve with that Delta gig. Geesh...

Last number I heard was 46.7% take rate across the board with two weeks to go. My strategy of promotion via attrition is on track.

That was my strategy too...
