Not good for Alaska or United. MAX 9 grounded indefinitely by FAA...

I'm surprised how fast they're moving on this. They've already updated the MAX sims.

Initial reports are no deaths or injuries. Glad those folks were all wearing seatbelts.

A couple hours ago, an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 returned to PDX for an emergency decompression. This plane is only 3 months old. https://www.kwtx.com/2024/01/06/alaska-airlines-plane-window-blows-out-mid-air-forcing-emergency-landing/?outputType=amp

Griz, that's exactly where I'm at. I hope any innocent Palestinians get out but collateral damage is going to happen in a war. Surprised some on here can't grasp that.

I hope you're in charge of a lemonade stand.

Are you in favor of the genocide that Israel faces? This is between Israel and the terrorists. Approve of how Israel is handling this. But really, are you in favor of the genocide that Israel faces?

If I'm wrong on anything I said up there geographically then please correct me. Otherwise, your left wing Fox News bashing isn't going to make you right in this. They let you back on this site? Last time I was here you were banned for being a moron. (Although still posting stupid shit under a...

They are surrounded, get a map. Hamas in Gaza to the south and Hezbollah in Lebanon to the north. They've also been taking rocket fire from Syria to the East. Oh, and you're forgetting the biggest problem, the ones who are behind all of these groups and wants Israel annihilated, Iran. Ya...

It's my belief that the majority of Palestinians side with Hamas and not Israel. I would love for all the innocent Palestinians to get out of harms way. But in war, that never happens. Should that deter Israel from its goal to wipe out Hamas. Fuck no. That's my stance.

Israel is surrounded by actors that want to exterminate them and wipe Israel off the map. What 'few' are you referring to?

If you support a terrorist organization, it makes you a terrorist. I have zero sympathy for bombs dropping on Palestinians that support Hamas. Period.

That's my point. If the Palestinians believe Hamas terrorists are their "freedom fighters", then they are terrorists too. If you support terrorists, you are a terrorist. It is now clear how many terrorists we have let in our country and now live among us. Stand by for this shit in the US...

You're fucking delusional. Israel isn't letting the civilians evacuate???? They gave the civilians advanced warning to vacate northern Gaza and even created a safe path for them. If civilians aren't being allowed to leave, it's because of Hamas, not Israel. If they leave, Hamas loses their...

No, actually it does. If you don't like civilian casualties in Gaza, you need to blame Hamas for using them as human shields and not letting them evacuate. Don't blame Israel. Their only course of action to prevent similar massacres in the future is to destroy Hamas. If you have a better idea...

I think the reason the VA culture pushes for claims is because for so long, people were under claiming. My Dad is a perfect example of someone who is rated at 30% and should easily be 70-80%. I also believe it's because it's better to claim and get denied than to not claim when you should. I...

I got my sleep study done right before I retired mainly because that's when I learned about the real health consequences later on if you don't treat it. But, I probably would have held off anyway trying to avoid being grounded by a Navy flight doc.

I have always been a snorer, reminded by my wife many times over the years. I had been reading about all of the severe medical consequences associated with untreated sleep apnea, like a 40% increase of a stroke or heart attack later in life, and that's what really got me looking into getting a...

Spirit Airlines pilot recruiting team watching the news this morning...

Stolen plane in MS. Tupelo, Mississippi pilot threatening to crash plane into Walmart, police say https://www.foxnews.com/us/tupelo-mississippi-pilot-threatening-crash-plane-walmart-police-say

It's your life, your family will get over it. They should be supporting your decision either way. Good luck to you.

Your chances of becoming a pilot are much better if you apply for OCS as a civilian than if you enlist. That's coming from a pilot who did 5 years enlisted first. If you have the education check in the box, apply for OCS. Don't listen to recruiters that say you can strike at any time. You can...

It all depends on timing. I got accepted with a 5/7/6 52 in 2007.

4 years later and KOMO 4 News has dug up some new video. https://komonews.com/news/local/video-shows-final-moments-of-worker-in-2018-at-seatac-airport-before-plane-theft-crash?fbclid=IwAR1m9j9sn1I9TeUgMBH5QAkIEYtRamVOmPtdyaL9vwnW38RYs-ItbbHnkLw

My Skipper was a C-130 guy then picked up command and went to a C-40 squadron. But I've seen it the other way around too.

They aren't going to let you go from C-130s to C-40s. The only people I have heard of transitioning is people who pick up command and it requires the platform change. I've only heard of requests being shot down outside of that. Don't count on that.

When I was accepted, I was given a start date about 4 weeks later. I was coming off of ankle surgery and told my recruiter I'd like to push it back to make sure I was back in good enough shape. He pushed it back another 4 weeks no problem. Just make your request and give your reason.

^^Brett's usual sidestep when he can't back up his ridiculous claim.

If the price is right, anything goes.

This home will be available for rent once again on October 1st, 2021. Great for VAQ studs. 1 year lease.

I bet the Falcon pilot just couldn’t handle the music. They should have had Doug in there.

Yes, SELRES is an option for both C-40s and C-130s. You can either go SELRES from FTS or go straight to SELRES from active duty. If you go FTS, you have to be selected by a board into the FTS community. If you go SELRES, you are only applying to a specific squadron. Usually when someone rushes...

Yeah, they transitioned just last year. They only have 2 jets, as opposed to 3 that the rest of the C-40 squadrons have. So far it’s been nice from a scheduling standpoint. Especially for the never ending CAG 5 moves from Iwakuni to Atsugi.

For Navy guys, that’s a second tour FTS billet. You’d go fly C-40s or C-130s for your first FTS tour.

Not COVID related. It’s been in the works for a long time.

VR-51 is no longer executive transport. They’re a C-40 squadron now.

True statement. My XO was supposed to head out to be the OIC of ETDPAC in July. She lost her orders 3 weeks before she transferred. Both ETDs moving to DC with VR-1.

I’m good with this story because it shows that a minority female was given every opportunity that anyone else would have been given. These are the kind of stories that need to be on the news rather than stories of oppression in America. Use these stories as a source of inspiration for...

These were taken by a friend of a friend who was flying missions dumping water. You can see the fire burned right through the flight deck. Pretty crazy.
