Once again the AF has screwed up another manning program. If we flew airplanes like the rest of the AF does their job we'd crash an aiplane a week!
Wingnut...did you happen to meet up with one of your tanker buds on the ramp at Ramstein a month or so ago?
8 of 8 approved from LTS??? Maybe this has to do with their MPF opening up at 2300 on 30 July (a Sunday) making it happen for their guys. Our MPF didn't lift a finger (although they’ll tell you their bending over backwards for us). Told everyone to, “make an appointment and we'll fit you in if we can!” I hear your pain my friend.
Any more rumors out there on this latest delay? This “revalidating the revalidated numbers” wouldn’t surprise me. I wonder if someone is afraid to pull the trigger since there’s no recovery plan if they chop too many.
