How does anything that a Weapons School grad F-teener does translate into 121 ops? Sorry bud, but quite a few F-teeners don't know sh!t from shinola in 121 ops and generally tend to have a much more difficult time transitioning than regional or even corporate guys, and yet everyone puts up with it. Sorry dude, no LFE launches, no ingress or egress routes here, no JTAC's, no SAM threats (usually), SEAD isn't necessary (unless maybe if landing on the south side at LAX), and the worst of it... we don't do 3-hour preflight briefs.
To which any fighter dude that has flown in an LFE launch and recovery (which is almost all of them) just chuckles and says “that’s cute.”
And that same dude is 'blind' before even pushing back here.
Congrats on getting off probation Warhawg, but humility goes a long way.
