The only AF guys that are high strung are the Fighter+ Zoomies.

I really wish this was true, but unfortunately not.
EVERY airframe (even Gucci) has some losers...as was expertly demonstrated during my sim session today.

Why you should NEVER fly into Washington National Airport | JetHead's Blog

 

I'm a pure civilian AWA 97 hire, so I can't speak for AA or LCC East at this point, but some of the nicest guys I've ever flown with were AF and Navy fighter pilots. In both seats.

Oddly enough, most all of the Richard Craniums I can think of, in either seat, were civilians.

One of the most easy going and affable guys I remember flew F-4s in Vietnam.

 

Great statement. As a former enlisted aircrew member, even our USAF micromanagers were better and more laid back than the worst civvie Richard.....time and time again, the true Richards always, always were pure civvie......BUT, that doesn't mean the military was better....

 

Military guys rock. Doesn't matter which branch... they've "been there done that" and know how to switch from serious to fun in a snap. And of course I'm honored to share the flight deck with those who served. Thank You!

 

For those of you w/ a mil background, how did you put in your UPT flight time? It only asks for PIC and SIC. I'm just trying to figure out how to include those since we received the BE-300 type post-UPT.

 

Right from the Q&A section of the aa pc website:


A: Here are the guidelines:

PIC (Pilot In Command) = Any time you signed for the plane as aircraft commander
or solo including all instructor time.

SIC (Second In Command) = Any time you acted as second in command and/or didn't sign for the plane.
This DOES include dual/student time.

Instructor = Only the time you logged as an instructor, regardless of the time being reported in PIC.

Instructor time is PIC time. It belongs in both columns.

Hope this helps!

 

I took my app down after getting hired at US Airways, but I think workingforfree posted the correct interpretation. I think I put it as SIC even though by the FAA's definition there is no such thing as SIC in a T6/38 (I guess one could log SIC in a T1).

Bottom line it boosts your total time, and turbine but not PIC.

 

Just wanted to compare and know if everybody is experiencing the same: once logging in and being directed by default to the profile summary page, you will have a snapshot of your application status. All green checkmarks, and no item pending. Scrolling down further, it shows that the profile/application is published/visible, and when the last update was performed. Also it shows that the application is "Complete" At the very end there is the "Messages" section: please check all sections of your profile for accuracy".
Checked all sections but I couldn't find any errors nor discrepancies.
Sent Support emails concerning this, after a couple of short messages, I received a response that the profile seems to be complete and up to date.

Does anyone else has this message? Is this notification generated automatically by default, regardless?

If you had it and then made some changes, did it correct it?
Any input is appreciated, Thank you.
