Maybe I need to explain. I am a lifetime AF pilot. Never flew for the airlines. As I read this thread, it looks like it is by and for airline types. Y'all speak a totally different language than I do. I have no idea what all this stuff means. Short calls, RSV, 135s, etc. I have no idea what it is y'all are saying.
I spent two hours last night reading this and am just confused...much like you would probably be if you sat in on an Air Force staff meeting as we tossed around our jargon and acronyms.

If you get based in DFW and are sitting reserve, you'll end up being home XX nights a month. There is no telling what will happen to Eagle but it looks like it will fold in three years because..."
Something that an outsider could understand.
Those of you who enjoy throwing snide comments because it makes you feel more manly, go for it. But those of you who really want to help an outsider, I'd be much obliged.
