I'm going to go with the homeless guy approach, with cardboard sign outside the airport: "Will fly for food....and pay...and health benefits...and 401k."

Because the entire NFO community is useless and knows nothing about aviation that your enlightened, single-anchorness can't solve.
I've been on both sides of the aisle. Choke yourself.
Actually I don't think scoolbubba is anti-NFO, I think he is sick of VP/active duty and wants to trade it in for a reserve 737 gig flying rubber dogshit to exotic places.
Wow. Butt hurt much? Hal nailed it.
To be fair, you and I traded two of ours for an APU and a battery
Full disclosure: I love NFO's. I married one.

Didn't you guys have to throw a radio in to that deal, too?
The good ones in my community are worth their weight in gold.
The shitty ones, though? I'd rather just have the 200 pounds of gas and the quiet ICS.
I did bring back making my NAV brief the approach and handle radio calls to ATC. So much win.
The people who will be getting out soon won't likely let a P-8 transition drive their decision. Mostly it's been the community mentality and management, and not the actual aircraft platform that has driven people away from VP (Word on the street is community leadership is actually afraid all the people they extended in the fleet and FRS tours to be P-8 IPs will bail off of their shore tour when their commitment is up). IMO, the bonus level for VP pilots is a kind of awaste. At that level, they're mostly going to get guys who were planning on staying in anyways regardless of the extra $17.80/day (after taxes) and cause people who are on the fence, and would have stayed for a larger bonus, to bail. After CPRG and his aide were saying publicly that a $35k/yr bonus was what was being proposed and sent up for approval there was a lot of hype built up for this bonus announcement, and a lot of guys decided that they'd stay around for that amount of money. Now that the bonus message has been released there isn't any talk of taking the bonus from guys other then those who said they were staying in regardless. According to the detailer, they're forecasting shortages in SG 05-09/10 for DH. It will be interesting how another year of record low bonus take rates will play into community manning. Last year the community resorted to "OPT IN for the DH board or resign", which surprised people and probably forced a few to stay who had been planning to OPT OUT but didn't have a contingency plan. The community also refused to let a few people who had taken the bonus pay it back to resign as they had been able to in years past. Now that people know that these responses are possible they may be taking them into account in their decision making/contingency planning so hardball from PERS-43 may not have the same value that it did in the past.
It's surely one of the main things that drove me away...I enjoyed the platform.
Shacked.
You're a lover…not a hater.

I make the NAVs who suck on the radios talking to the ships practice by talking to ATC. I already know how to talk on the radios, surprisingly, some of our NAVIGATOR/COMMUNICATORs can neither Navigate OR Communicate.
Wait, so you're telling me it's not advisable to start every radio transmission with, "Aaaaaaand, be adviiiiiised, at this time we are currently....."

Unless you are going to ask a question, then be sure to use "interrogative" to complete the craptastic quadruple of buffoonerous comm......

If I could reach through the radio and punch someone the first time they say any of those, and murder them the second time, there would be so much blood. So much.
Pet peeve.
Says the guy who probably checks in "Out of 10 point 5 for 2"...
Don't know that of course, rampant speculation.
Let he who is without radio sin among you cast the first stone.
