That's not what I said. I said "Barely qualified to be my FO" which is exactly true come Aug 1st based on his aeronautical experience. That was congress and the FAA's judgement, not mine.
I'm not saying he's a bad guy, he seems well-liked and certainly dealt with this adversity in a stand-up manner. But even I know enough about the AF to wonder what he's been doing his whole career that his time is that low...that would be a reasonable total for a pointy-nose guy. Separate issue from the waist size thing.
In the Navy nobody gets to be an O6, and most especially operational command, without doing their "MOS" job, and a lot of it.
