I never got it. And got the varicella two dose vaccine way back in the day. Yes yes. Need to discuss with doc. But anyone recall if needed if already had the varicella?

It’s in mine. An alternative revenue stream. Excellent credit won’t get you anywhere if you need the banks. You need revenue streams.

Interesting discussion thread. How far AW has come from “how long is the wait in the pool” to “tips for prostate screening”. You fvckers are all old. 😂 Tricare has been exceptional since I retired. I think a lot depends on the PCM you find and their competency submitting referrals. And then...

USAA has a dental plan. My daughter has used it between jobs previously. I figured after I retire this is what I will end up using.

Landed 22 a couple of times always weather related (obviously), but as you said the weather is fairly consistent.

Just hire that Maui sea tow company!

I’ll let @FrankTheTank correct me, bust basically $250k to leave FedEx and go to direct entry PSA captain slot. And what he said above. Negotiating tactic. Pretty surreal.

How’s that FEDEX to PSA transition going so far? We live in crazy times.

THIS!!! I can’t like this enough.

Well. First Navy game I’ve ever been to. At least I chose Dublin as the venue and they had Guinness! Whichever squadron did the flyover did an awesome job and rocked the stands.

Depends on the family member … and how many drinks I have had.

Brett, just like the military there are canned brief formats in our equivalent of our operations manual. “Communication with passengers”. Some PA announcements are mandatory. The rest is just technique, don’t be the pilot making the level off PA at 6am waking everyone up etc. I’m a fan of less...

I fly the bus. I saw that and wonder if it wasn’t dubbed over. Who knows. I’ve heard my fair share of welcome aboard PAs that have had me go “huh?”

I have experienced a recent uptick with non aviation and military friends, family members and acquaintances asking me lately “have you ever seen a UFO ? while flying?”.

As already alluded to. Seniority is king. It drives your quality of life and your ability to make choices. Do you upgrade early and go to the bottom of the seniority for your bid status or do you wait? At least you have a choice and after weathering the initial years at the airline you get in a...

This sums it up for me. I like the guys and gals I fly with, but I really miss the squadron camaraderie that (at least for me) is lacking. A lot to do with age differences and where people live. The benefit of this job is the commutability. While I live in base. A lot of people I fly with don’t...

Crafted message with audiences other than pilots.

So we have pilots that took early retirement. And went to the regionals for the crazy pay and bonus.

I’m good if you want to post a link to it.

A bunch of memes today.

And speak of the devil …. Who forgot to reboot the NOTAMs server?

Really depends on the type of schedule the airline is running. Is it hub to spoke. Spoke to spoke. Is it a banked operation where all the flights to a hub are arriving within certain banked windows of time to maximize customer connecting options. Then what about aircraft routing and utilization...

IDK when or how it transitioned over. Started primarily as way for family and friends to see what I was up to. Along with Steve while he was going through flight training. There were a couple other gouge pages out there. I guess one day I decided to add the forum software. Think I had some basic...

@sevenhelmet thivuht you’d appreciate this. Stolen from FB. 'Twas the night before Christmas I knew I was hosed When I got to security KCM had just closed I moved to the main line And took off my shoes The passengers behind me Had drank too much booze They yelled at the TSA Obscenities flying...

I bid bankers hours. Predominantly turns. But two days to nice layovers. Max 2 legs per duty period. As much soft time as possible. I’m spoiled.

At least at AA I fly with a lot of captains that are trying to make up lost time financially due to many of the various factors that impacted their career trajectory. I also think that a lot of pilots say one thing publically and probably think differently about the age limit being increased...

Wink,counterpoint, you know I was pleasantly surprised in our last VDR picket at MIA. Almost every passenger going by us (and the airport was packed) cheered us on and was vocal with support.

I haven’t been to a MTF since I retired over 9 years ago. I have used my location and lack of ANY MTF near me to my advantage with Prime and having my private practice PCM give me referrals to local specialists. During COVID I knocked out a whole slew of high end check ups/testing and paid...

Leaning towards Tennessee personally. Chattanooga north towards Knoxville, in that area perhaps. A lot of my coworkers are retiring so it’s interesting to see where people are going to. Have a couple that are in the process of building out their retirement home and leaving SoFlo behind.

Done. Congrats.

You can go here.

Running around or I would provide link

Made a post about it. Forum update.

Done

Due to the interruption to the website for many of you. I have removed all ads from the website for registered users through at least end of January 2022. Enjoy, John

Ok, I just did a batch update. If you have Naval Aviator Wings under your profile, I added you to Private Naval Aviators (PNA). There were about 313 that I added. If you are in PNA, you also can see Hangar Talk. Test it by checking this link...

Nope

Double check, you should see it. https://www.airwarriors.com/community/forums/hangar-talk.31/

Completed.

Post here if you need to get access to the private forum Hangar Talk (the old War Zone). John

Seems a lot zippier

All, Thank you for your patience with the website recently being down. The moderators decided to pause the website and discuss how we were going to proceed with the website. Recent posting attacks, trolling and other behavior had recently gotten out of hand. And detracted from the overall...

testing new update. John

“Operational pause” I will upgrade the software tomorrow.

I’m just happy I got the left seat back!

That's awesome. I also like the inverse... flown with a few lately that took the whole last year off with our paid leaves of absence. One of the Captains I flew with bemoaned missing his afternoon nap on our 1 leg to LAX. Now it's all critical manning shortages (surprise, surprise), and can't...

You have become the sites radicaldudr for the right. Well done!. Let’s take a month off shall we? John
