PG,
While I almost always appreciate your perspective, I don't always agree with it.
So, I'm very glad we're in complete agreement with regard to the Bill Brown administration.
Please correct my memory, but wasn't he brought in (as MEC Chairman) to save us from the problems of the Shelton era?

It's true, stealth helicopters are nothing new. We had them back in the 80s.
Supersonic too. The Marines carried over some of the advanced technology to the Cobra...
I fear what will happen if this thing lands in the wrong hands. According to AWST after the F-117 went down in Serbia the Chinese paid a lot of money over the years (or supposedly did) to villagers to get parts they had collected as souvenirs. What if this was good technology and landed in the wrong hands? They could develop the red version of our stealthy helicopter...

Not sure if ya'll have heard about the helicopters that were used in the insert/extraction of the SEALs in the operation to kill Osama...
They wrecked one of them, and instead of leaving the carcass in place like usual, they blew it up. Why? This is a picture of a portion of the wreckage left after the blast:
I certainly don't recognize that as a part of any helo that I know of... May very well be unacknowledged technology. Pretty cool!

Due to the geekiness of my last post I present a palate cleanser...

Also, as an aside, the 500, which increased to 505(?) or so, were so senior, many of them ended up taking the "early" retirement deal but not leaving until their age 60 normal retirement anyway, due to training constraints. So the supposed movement that the rest of us were going to see never materialized. At least we got to keep the four year contract with a 2% paycut up front, and four years of no raises....
Though, in all fairness, we did get 6% profit sharing checks almost every year. At least that's what I recall.

3 TOs and LNDGs in 90 days. Your popup screen should show you when you go non-current. By the FOM/contract you have to call the Co within 21 days of going non-current to schedule currency. You are pretty close to this window.
Call the CPSC they will coordinate with your sim scheduler. You can give dates when you would like to go. If you go non-current, your next sim will be a re-qual checkride (jeopardy).
