You guys should take my word for it. I wouldn't have made that comment if I didn't mean it. I'm not going to expand on it here.

Why not expand? Sounds like it would be useful information both for the OP and others.

 

I don't have any idea what your point is.

 

Thanks all. I've tried most of those by reaching out to active buddies and 1Cs, and called my old base, but no luck. I've been looking for about a month. The only thing I haven't asked for is my SURF. Thanks Jughead. And BSRAGR, thanks for trying - good effort! I'm aware I'll be in the regional/charter world for a little while...

 

Probably would have stopped prior to pressing 'submit reply'. OP can still succeed. He's a military pilot, and that counts. As others have said, a brief stay at the regional level will be the ticket for further success.

 

This may be bad advice but I would just put down what your best guess is from your AF times. You have a DD214, SURF and proof that you spent X number of years flying the Hog through various assignments. Then prepare a memo explaining the situation, maybe even seek out your old SQ/CCs to write a LOR stating that Capt Suacez was an IP in my squadron for xx years and served as Stan Eval/Trainging and was Christmas party OIC for 2009. At Sheppard if flew 120 hours in Tweets and 130 hours in 38s, 20ish hours in IFF, B-Course ~90ish hours. Add a couple hundred hours a year in the CAF, IP/EP quals should all be reasonably assumed base on historical norms. If you show up with memos and letters and have a reasonable story, I would imagine they would accept this...they'll know if you're lying.

Best of luck!


To anyone who is reading this and currently flying or about to start flying for the AF, this is my plug to keep your own logbook. Even if you don't think you're going to he airlines, you just never know. I keep my own logbook and have found numerous mistakes over the years during my yearly reviews. I found 10 hours missed just during ENJJPT. Luke, missed a 4 or 5 flights as well. I'm already at a Legacy and I still keep my logbook up (civilian and military).

 

All, before I keep getting held over the fire, two things. My comments were vague on purpose and that doesn't help in a forum where people don't know each other and are trying to help each other out.

Unfortunately, my comments weren't about an inability to fly because he's been in sales. It has nothing to do with him being out of the jet.

People can hide behind screen names and that wasn't my intent. What if the OPs screen name is his actual name. Maybe, just maybe his past isn't as simple as he claims.

For the OPs sake I'll leave it there, but I meant no malice in my comments.

OK, now you've REALLY got us curious...

 

No offense intended, but you suck at meaning no malice.

 

Yup. Me truncating what I'm thinking when I'm trying to type on a phone is beyond failing.
