I imagine the army has no issue keeping W pilots because they're compensated pretty well, have a fulfilling mission, and actually get to focus on their mission.

MooseAg03 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I'd rather pay state income tax versus what TX has going on with property taxes. I was paying $600 a month for a $200K house in TX.Where the hell in TX is this? Super upscale master planned community? MUD taxes in a brand new development? Or downtown somewhere?

What about guys/gals who are guard/reserve and fly for the airlines weekdays and drive Mother Blue's hardware in their off time? Couldn't that be considered "dual qual'd; airliner/something else? Also dual-qual'd pilots like the guys at Beal flying the Duce and the -38 seem to do OK. (yes, I understand the Beal crowd is really the cream-of-the-crop type of community) Again, asked from a "teach me" point-of-view not being a dick. For the purpose of this discussion, dual qual means a guy executing full up combat missions in two MDS during the same time period, which requires substantially more than "motherhood" flying. The ability to fly more than one airplane safely is not being debated here, it's the ability to employ more than one aircraft effectively in combat. Beale/Whiteman 38s, airlines, etc. are all basic flying/"standard" airmanship type stuff - they are not employing an MDS in combat. These two, different definitions of dual qual cannot be compared/inter-changed (apples to oranges). 4

Valid but the employment in combat between the two airframes in discussion (a LAAR and an RPA) are engaging in similar missions using similar sensors, could be made to use similar nav / displays (particularly for the pilot), same weapons, etc... If this was done in a non-AF way, with careful thought and strategy, it is my opinion it could work.

matmacwc Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I'm telling you, TX isn't all its cracked up to be. The gun laws in AZ are SO much more relaxed and the property taxes are way lower. 2

They may have retention issues, but the ratio of commercial helo opportunities to mil helo aviators is a lot smaller than commercial fixed-wing to mil aviators. The pay disparity is also a LOT bigger when comparing mil to airline. Edited July 25, 2017 by Guest Clarification

But we both know it'll NEVER happen that way. There will be way to many cooks in the kitchen looking to pad their OERs and you'll end up with a zebra (with building costs and contractors spread across numerous states and congressional districts) when you wanted/needed was an elephant.

They have to have instructors. Try can't only pulling from the CAF to have T-38 instructors. It's a balancing act way above my pay grade. "Robbing Peter to pay Paul" type of situation.
