Theres also one in San Diego.

Anyone have details on what happened with this?

From what I heard, the Navy is not teaching pops or roll-ins anymore in gray jets. As of at least a year ago IIRC.

Who cares if the CDC said it? The point they’re making is that the vaccine was advertised to be over 90% effective.

Yes the jet could physically do it. But with absolutely 0 practice, I don’t think it would go well.

No. There is zero training to non PLM landings. Not even a discussion.

Maybe it’s changed but when I was a student it was allowed except for the fam solo.

Unfortunate mishap on the first USN F-35C deployment.

The yellow journalism refers to the fear mongering that is contrary to the CDC data he mentioned, where the vast majority of hospitals are not close to overwhelmed. It did not refer to your cherry picked, anecdotal, exception that you’re talking about.

Where you headed?

I don’t feel bad for the CEOs at all and I agree with you about that part. I do disagree though that it’s a shortage of pilots willing to work for regional wages. I honestly believed this WAS the case, but isn’t anymore, yet is still stated just due to inertia. Regional wages used to be half...

What does skin color have to do with the topic at hand?

You actually think this?

Post #16 above. How about, can someone articulate a legitimate upside?

Outrage is over the top. I wouldn’t say outrage. But it is pretty bothersome. I don’t think you should be kept up at night by this (we certainly aren’t), but you really aren’t the least bit bothered that this is where society is? If this were one incident, it could be laughed away. But to have...

There’s another thread on this.

Same^

(Should say pandemic is 100% over, not policy is over. Not able to edit it now)

Here’s what moving on looks like: Once the vaccine was available to everyone to choose to get it or not, the policy is 100% totally over from a policy perspective. Make it look like 2019 again. Hospitals will not be overrun. Instead, we didn’t do that. We should’ve, but we didn’t. I agree...

Shouldn’t the API section be named NIFE? Since API doesn’t exist anymore.

Not sure how much it’s changed (if at all), but so long as the midshipman had good grades and stayed out of trouble, they all got picked up for pilot if they wanted it. My observation over 4 years in ROTC, as well as what I’d heard anecdotally from other units.

Same for Pensacola.

While the myocarditis is an unfortunate rare adverse reaction, cases of heart inflammation reported post-COVID vaccination are usually mild and get better quickly. People should weigh the risks and make their own health decisions.

Those are all valid reasons that it’s healthy to be skeptical of needing to take the vaccine. @vxc961 and I were addressing skepticism about safety (those that feel the shot doesn’t have enough safety data now, have an inflated high likelihood of adverse effects, will alter your DNA, turn you...

Yeah I’m aware of what it does. Just interesting how you frame it. For all practical purposes, a vaccine being something that triggers an immune response to develop an immunity is a perfectly fine definition. If you’re going to say that the mRNA shots aren’t vaccines for all intents and purposes...

Ok so it’s not just mRNA as was implied by your previous post. If the mRNA shots aren’t vaccines, then what are they?

Not sure if I missed it but I didn’t see anywhere in the article singling out mRNA shots (as you did in your post) vs vaccines in general. Either way, happy to see the court put out this decision.

Yes. And I take VAERS with a heavy grain of salt, given the fact that reports are unverified and there is nothing establishing causality (death/effects after the vaccine or because of the vaccine). Given its self-reporting procedures, and the heavily politicized nature of this vaccine, I’m not...

Im against mandates, but after billions of doses and a year and a half since the first people got the shots, I’m really inclined to be in camp “modern medical miracle.” Obviously, that opinion changed from healthy skepticism at first. But it really does seem at this point that it is a modern...

Im not going to lie. I kind of like it.

Wow. I’m glad people are noticing at least.

I’ll have to hard disagree this one. Either way, just stay away from the DCS T-45 ?

Yeah I never heard a single meow in the military. UHF guard doesn’t have anything spicy on it. Ever.

I think the discussion was to sunset around 2030ish.

Yes the announcement was made at least a few months ago that the Air Force would like to retire it early. Not sure if anything firm has happened since.

Performance is way off (not even close). Handling is way off. Systems are badly modeled, if modeled at all. Cockpit art does not reflect the real thing.

I can't help with what to use, but I can tell you that the VNAO one will be negative training. Stay away.

The bad habits thing is far and away an exception, but it’s out there. Generally those with more advanced certificates and ratings have dominant NSSs. However I concur that the expense is not even close to worth it unless you’re super rich and/or passionate.

….but helicopters….

Care to give a response to point 2, particularly in the context of point 1? Noticed you dodged it completely. Looking for a specific response, not a one word brush over. Point 2 is the explanation to how I’m not dodging your points.

I think the disconnect with you is two fold 1) you reduce it to just business activity. You not only dismiss, but you ignore the severe damage done to children by schools being closed, the increase in depression, suicide, domestic violence, divorce, in-flight altercations, and other major...

As nuanced as it may or may not be, you decline to directly address it’s premise and perspective over and over. I thought this was supposed to be a conversation. As an aside, while the “People die. A lot of those people would be dead now anyway” quote may lack the nuance you desire, I’m 100%...

720,000 is a big deal. It’s not a big enough deal to warrant shutting down schools, business, and effectively turn our country upside down. Do NOT mischaracterize what was said. Do not mince words into “720,000 dead as no big deal” without the rest of the context. There is a HUGE distinction to...

And clearly we all disagree with you on the premise that the virus was scary. I agree with you that there didn’t have to be any destruction of business or livelihood or children’s education or people’s civility and mental health. What part of “the virus wasn’t a factor for virtually anyone who...

Not to mention his cherry picking of Idaho hospitals and ignoring everywhere else, including those that had to lay off medical professionals.

I noticed @taxi1 dodged my last question.

Hard to know an exact number. But I know for sure that a virus that only seriously affects a tiny fraction of a percent of people who aren’t elderly does not cross the “big deal” threshold. Why don’t you flip the question on its head: how much loss of businesses, jobs, education, mental health...
