There are way more required disclosures for a union than for a business.

Yes I have. I especially remember the description of LM-2's by the slowplay/sailingfun/alfaromeo triad as government required forms that literally forces unions to give erroneous data for the sole purpose of making unions look bad. Now you tout LM-2's as proof of unions producing more disclosure than a business? Wow.

Just for the record, public companies have FAR more disclosure requirements in one quarter than a union has in a year.

The LM-2 discloses what, when, and how much FPL DALPA functionaries are receiving? Bull****.

Unfortunately, transparency cannot be legislated. It must come from a "costumers-first" philosophy within an organization. The adage "actions speak louder than words" also comes to mind.

One thing is certain: line pilots sure aren't "first" with (D)ALPA bureaucrats.

You know of not what you talk, and make yourself sound even more ignorant by referring to it as "Predator Porn".

Each time you post on this forum or others, you should be asking yourself, "why am I on so many [ignore] lists"? "Why am I on so many [ignore] lists?"

"Why am I on so many [ignore] lists?" "Why am I on so many [ignore] lists?"

A little introspection from you and others on this forum just might do you some good.

Good Day

Working with a person who knows of the PTSD issue with drone pilots seems very real. Personnel stateside, get up before report, have family time, kid time and even coach youth sports, then go to work and fly a deadly drone half a world away. They complete a mission that is secret and involves weapons and may even be part of a friendly fire incident. Then at 5pm are expected to head home stop at the store for dinner, play with kids and act like nothing ever happened!

The PTSD is real. How this new role fits into combat and real world home life is the issue. Apparently a lot of talk of making all drone personnel deploy (states or in country) to focus on the mission like frontline combat personnel. It is thought that this will help individuals deal with the realities and stresses of their jobs and their roles in it when away from "normal Life"

Just a thought...

FIIGMO,

Thank you for posting factual information/knowledge on this subject. Often times there are too many other posters whose conjecture/fabrication of opinion results in their own perceived facts. This thread would be a third its size if we didn't have the keyboard warriors the internet brings out in people.

Thanks again,

GJ

What is an "OEF participation medal"? I've included a link to all military medals. Please find the "participation medal" you are talking about and post a reply. I suspect there isn't one.

USA Military Medals, Army Medals, Navy Medals, Air Force Medals, Marine Corps Medals, Coast Guard Medals, Civilian Military Medals, Rack Builder, Ribbons

Next........

Wrong, but please keep posting conjecture and fabricating your opinions into fact. If you have questions about what the Combat Readiness Ribbon/Medal is awarded for, I've included an additional link for your reading pleasure.

What's your point? Everyone in the Air Force gets the longevity ribbon. More reading for you. Why don't you do a little more research before sounding like a buffoon, even on an internet forum.

Wrong again, but it's a good thing the keyboard makes you sound smart. Why don't you go to a Guard/Reserve or Active Duty Pred unit and ask around yourself how much experience some of the guys flying drones have? I'm not going to disclose the Guard/Reserve units that have drones, but to give you a hint, most of them used to be Viper drivers, Francis!

Good day,

GJ

As a fellow service member in the Air Guard, and with all due respect for your afsc gearjerk...do you really think that the DWM should outrank the Purple Heart? Maybe on par with it, but above it, really? We all do our part in the GWOT, but this medal really stirs up the ***t pot, at least in my humble opinion.

V/R,

Gary

Absolutely not. I understand that it stirs the pot, and see the frustration. What I think is immature, and unprofessional from other posters is the constant "broad brush berating" of "drone-drivers" when the person has no idea what the "drone-driver" did in their previous "military life".

Thanks for your level post.
