The P-3 guys don’t let just anyone into their clique. You should stick to something realistic, like being an astronaut.

I know that the three-year rule has always kind of been an unspoken rule, but I cannot find it in written policy anywhere. I’m pretty sure the 3yr requirement has been lifted.

Writing is on the wall, I am going to the airlines while the timing is still good. This job will ALWAYS be looking for pilots...

Regarding reasons for any moves not happening.
#1.
The 3 year in place policy is alive and well. Our XD WILL NOT move anyone inside that.
#2.
Needs of the service always trump any move. Ask any pred driver!
And #3 My favorite, "I said so!"
It's been my experience FLEOA nor LER will touch this.

I want to thank everyone who contributes to this thread.
I’m a rotary wing pilot close to retirement and looking at AIA positions.
Some thoughts.
The basic lack of leadership and structure in such a large organization is quite disturbing. These issues with morale and day to day operations are easily fixable with the right people in place. Truly mind blowing.
Is having a TS helpful during the hiring process? Will I have the opportunity to fly 60s again?

I'm applied for a 135 outfit back home and the said I could take a sim ride in two wks after the HR interview, I just don't think I can afford to take such a huge pay cut.

Reading through this thread it seems like a lot of pilots are leaving or looking to leave AMO. Just wondering where these pilots are going? Major Airlines? Are AMO pilots looked at similarly to military pilots? Considering AMO has a lot of single piston aircraft, not sure how they are looked at by the airlines/ect after they leave AMO.
