Could be, I just don't know. As a 14 year FO, I've never had the pleasure of flying with a new hire.
Fighter guys should show up with a clear understanding that rotation rates are variable depending on takeoff conditions. A clean F16 at sea level on a cold day vs a war load at bagram in July. Very different airplanes, very different takeoffs.

The only B-1 that I've witnessed with tail damage was one that was refueled improperly causing it to fall back on its tail. Oh, and the one gear up landing we had overseas.

I saw a lot of F-16s with tail damage from landing. Very easy to hit the speedbrakes if you got too slow. I also saw guys hit the strakes, nozzle, and the horizontal stab...took some serious ham-fisting to make that happen.

Thanks Timbo,
You had to remind me that I was previously able to hold all SNA lines on the LAX 737 (sparing Buzz the long drive south) until they totally disappeared from our Bid package. Still hoping for some SNA this summer.

I flew an empty A319 from EWR to PHL as a reposition for a charter with only 7,000 lbs of gas. And we had an MEL requiring a full thrust takeoff. Oh my - it was like riding a mechanical bull.

Guess you'll have to wait until you hold a Captain's seat and start flying with newhires! Great point about the F-16 load variations and airfield elevations.
