Those are impressive numbers posted above - yet still 50% again less than the original remarked upon amount in the hypothetical scenario. There is a 5,000 hr Marine Hornet guy too - - -but he is certainly NOT the norm; know what I mean?
That one I mentioned was a 1-star. I was a freshly winged 1stLt and was impressed by both the 5,000 hr C-5 patch and the 3,000 (or was it 4,000 - I really cant remember) AC-130 patch the Colonel was wearing.
742dash -
An excellent point that haven't seen mentioned much in these debates on the forum - - - the ROLE of the FO has changed.
I agree with your statement 100%.
Uh oh, I think we've got a 5,000 hour jarhead Hornet pilot on our hands here, eh FLYR?
PS I think this is the most intelligent thread I've seen in a while!!
PPS When are we gonna have 10,000 hour RJ patches to sport? Or maybe patches for each bankruptcy or displacement to that base that nooobody wants to go to. Maybe the military guys will think we are cool THEN!
