In this context high-performance means single pilot jets (F, A, T, U). Not sure about B-1's. I'm not going to weigh in on nuances or merits of different platforms.

That's like the F-14 jocks going into the Miramar FSDO and arguing that their ticket shouldn't say "Centerline Thrust."

There's only one pilot on board an F-15E and F-18D/F. Osprey?

V-22's i dunno. The guy in the back of 18 doesn't usually have controls and is not a rated pilot.

F-14's are not center line thrust. Remember Maverick's "flat spin out to sea"?

At the time they were trying to convince the FAA that they should have an unrestricted license. The FAA wasn't buying it even though the engines were like 14 inches apart. It was a standing bet in the Miramar FSDO that every time an F-14 jock came in with his NATOPS manual the over/under on the number of minutes before he'd be whining about the "Centerline Thrust" limitation.

P.S. I still can't figure out how to do a flat spin "out to sea." There's some time/space continuum aerodynamics for you.

There must be something to that with those -14’s. I saw a bunch of that in the documentary “The Final Countdown.”

That movie proved the Zero was no match for the Tomcat.

V-22 is a multi pilot A/C.
If you guys are curious v-22 is getting a lot of FAA love as the GP is getting smarter on our operation. Delta allows 90% towards FW Turbine.

Another mil friendly regulation is a up to 500hr credit to upgrade to CA in 121 world.

I have absolutely ZERO doubt that a 135 guy or a KC-10 guy or a C-17 guy or a 130 guy or a COD guy or a B-52 guy or even a C-12 guy would be, at least initially, ten times better suited to this job than a single seat “high performance" guy. Absolutely NONE. No one cares about “high performance” time. The only reason it matters is because of the multiplier. And to their egos, apparently.....
