You forgot hookers, blow and manatees.
I guess our AOM was out of date and I better let ops know not to cancel the planned classes.
You're missing the point. Yes, there is a slow down, but it's not permanent. You have an accurate fact, but it's not all the facts. But what do I know? I'm sure a Hornet RAG OpsO knows more about what's going on in the VTs than a current VT IP.
Will the current slowdown continue past the 2 weeks? Maybe (though I doubt it). But as of yesterday, mid-day, there was nothing saying things would continue past this week.
Man, what the hell was I thinking? Because TBS so closely approximates the OPTEMPO of a sea going squadron.
It was funny sitting in the sim building listening to this very same conversation today... But then I realized that I couldn't care less about what the navy puts me in at this point. I just want to do my best.
So I went into another room and studied.
Speaking of studying.. I've exhaused my do nothing time for today.

Uhhh, 42%?
If no one else laughed, I did.
That was my guess as well.
BTW Semper you forgot "weaping for the future of Naval Aviation"
If no one else laughed, I did.
So Ops Normal, then?
75% Or at least thats we were told, 50% 2 weeks, 75% 2 weeks then "normal"
I think a previous poster made a good point about attrition at API. All this talk seems to point to that.
I actually overheard the water survival guys brainstorming ways to drown more SNAs in the helo-dunker so the rest of the community could breathe-easy.
And the parasailers contemplated sending us up with streamers for chutes, making us correct them mid-air, which also makes the PLF more interesting. (My rigger was a KState Wildcat and when he saw my Jayhawk patch I saw the jealousy in his eyes and I know this thought crossed his mind.)

Same for Whiting. I was scheduled almost every day since I began, but after the mishap, I'm lucky to see my name on the schedule twice a week. So much for proficiency through repetition. Guess I'll just be Flight Simming it to make up lost time.
I doubt this was ever considered. The ORM would be a killer, much less the fact that you can't get airborne with a streamer.
Whats an approximate average class size?
