Not entirely true.

I got displaced out of HOU with a +10 last year.

MCO and BWI were shrinking....those guys got displaced and moved into HOU pushing me out even though the base was growing by 10!.....kinda like musical chairs.

Looking forward, I don't see people getting displaced. All the bases will be "growing" with 1,000 transitions.

You might not get the base you want but I don't see displacements happening with upgrades, transitions and new hires.

For the new hires: Plan on OAK, LAS and PHX. Maybe a spare chance @ HOU and MDW when it all shakes out. Really going to be a function of how many transitions will be in each vacancy bid.

Do some people get selected at the Decision Board that have not had their references called prior?

Ok I've seen that a couple times. Displaced senior pilots displacing junior ones. Certainly not the norm.

Based on what they told us when I interviewed this week, I'd guess they will make calls before the DB. There's still a couple weeks before the board. Has anyones references been called yet?!?

3 of 6 in my group.

Everyone has their packet go to the decision board apparently. I heard there is still a chance the board can pick someone (if references were not called yet) .... but I am not sure if it has ever happened.

I have three friends that interviewed thus far. Each had their references called between 1-2 business days after the interview.

Hey, Workingforfree, check your PMs....

To all the mil applicants who have interviewed out there, what did you take to the interview for the logbook review? I've painstakingly broken down every sortie from my extracts into a spread sheet which nicely captures my times. Is this sufficient for an interview or should I have my entire stack of extracts as well?

I took my flying history report, a spreadsheet that explains how I extracted the data from the FHR, a spreadsheet that broke down how many hours I've logged in the last 36/24/12/6 months, and my 942. It was more than sufficient. Don't let them fool you, the guy that did my logbook review revealed after we were done that he was a retired F15 pilot. If you follow the directions in the interview instructions you'll do fine, I wouldn't get too in the weeds.

Thanks.....
