The majority hired will be off the street apparently. There are not a lot of people even applying at Endeavor because they think they don't stand a chance in the process, so they aren't even going to take a try at it.

Yup, from Sept. 1984-June 1992 or so, I was out of Pease. If you saw NH AIR GUARD painted on the boom, it might have been me, espeically if it was a very long mission over water to England or such, like Desert Storm, because being junior, they would usually throw me on the crappy stuff! We once flew back from Okinawa, non-stop, 15 hours, two pilots! But we took turns sleeping up front.

We also did a lot of local training work with the 141's out of Maguire of course, and C5's from Stuart, the FB111's out of both Pease and Plattsburg, the F106's then F15's out of Otis on the Cape, and A10's out of MA and CT. Great fun that.

As I told my KC135 instructor, when I first got to Castle, "This is something I've wanted to do since I was about 14!"

He said, "What, fly a Tanker?"

I said, "No, work in a gas station."

Luckily he had a good sense of humor.

ATL 320 is so small it's kind of like that. Most of each know each other and it's almost entirely a really good group except for a couple captains that are a bit difficult. Only one of those guys that is difficult have I ever had any issues with.
