Hey folks,
Not sure if you're aware that you're hard earned military instructor/evaluator rating can be "comped" like the commercial instrument ticket. This works for all except the "centerline thrust folks" - sorry. I'm an "older" retired military aviator (formerly USAF/US Army) and just...
I meant to say moot as previously pointed out. Guess it was the lateness of the hour or my blood alcohol level. One of our endearing qualities as pilots is anal retentiveness. Thanks for highlighting my agregious oversight.
The Air Force recently announced that they are looking for old farts (flyin types) to return to active duty with certain caveats. Anybody thinking seriously about this? I've got to say I've got mixed thoughts about the whole deal not to mention a gajillion questions.

2) Pull back the sheets and looks for the curlies-many hotels "hotbunk".
3) Bathroom-Shower check- Sucks at 0330 to find...
Anyone have any info on interviews? Haven't heard much lately. How many hired, how long after submitting application? I'm retired military with heavy-int'l time and two recommendations, and still no call.
Interesting thread, although this seems most appropriate for departures rather than arrivals since at most of these airports, approach is pretty directive with speeds. MDW is the first that comes to mind but I've never gone in there without being told what speed to fly. SRQ is interesting when...
Philliy has always been a Train wreck looking for a place to happen. The controller's attitudes are just frosting on the cake. "Do you have a sequence for us?" "Yeah, you're last." Between the double-downwinds, construction, congested parking, and spongy taxiways, this place is the epoch of FAA...
Check out the posts about the current TA. Current attrition is rumored at 10 FO's a month...if this gets approved it'll probably triple so you'll have a much better chance.
