Indeed. In fact the new hire who held 777 while still in training was a 756 new hire. I had the pleasure of meeting him earlier this month. Super nice guy. Knows what he is getting himself into for the most part although there were plenty of suggestions/opinions thrown his way. Young guy, married and just separated from the AF with no roots to pull up so renting an apartment in the city (SFO) is doable for he and his wife. We are living in good times when people in their first 2 months have options like this. 27 year old 777 FO. 38 years to current mandatory retirement. He, and many others like him being hired this year should have excellent careers.

I have friends who separated at the end of their FAIP tour. The youngest was hired by United at 26.

Not in today’s day and age, the USAF is bleeding pilots and doing everything they can to hang on to them.

In the next contract, all rates need to go up,but those two need a big improvement.

Where do we stand now...now that Delta plus is gone?.

As was previously asked, how was this pilot able to get out “in today’s retention environment”.
ReadyRsv, could you enlighten us?

He was an Eagle driver and he told them he identified as “straight” so they let him out immediately.

Yeah, what year was that? 1991? In 2003 they were letting anyone that wanted to get out loose, today they’re all but stop lossing.
