He said KA350(s).

We were told SD is helo only, at least as far as new hires are concerned.

Could be that the announcement is for Brown Field, not North Island- I'm pretty sure Brown Field only has helos.

Everyone starts in the T-6 now. So yep, if a Navy helo bubba goes and takes the FAA Mil Comp exam and shows his/her pilot training records to the FSDO, they will get an ASEL commercial.

ok roger that, thanks

everyone receiving an RI will see it time out after the 3rd year.

What about the SSR?

Supposedly OK for now.

RI?

As far as SSR, part of the big reason for making it an actual pay rate was that it couldn’t just be given and taken away like a incentive/bonus - correct?

A couple of months ago our managing SES visited us. He mentioned the RI's going away for everyone except of course the UAS folks. As for the SSR, the thought is that it also will be going away eventually because of the airline/covid employment issues. Keep in mind that this is pure speculation from our visiting SES and not gospel. Apparently the SSR has to be justified annually with OPM. With all this said, if and when it does disappear save pay should occur for an additional 2 years.
The implementation of the SSR was certainly a well deserved surprise. Just keep your fingers crossed and enjoy the ride.
