The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??
- Thread starter A4sForever

Probably don’t need Foreflight while pulling g’s. The GoPro suction cup held on fine though. Or so I heard.
Shut the fuck up you stupid hinge!
That's civilian(sel) to you!
I outrank you in my civilian-ess. I've got more time in grade....But I am also still a reservist.
We'll have to battle for which of us is more useless once you are walking down the commissary aisle in sandals with socks and an iphone holster.

I can't imagine flying in a Naval aircraft with one of these. All those wireless signals whizzing around...we might as well just expect at least one aircraft per day to fall from the sky. You all are a bunch of Safety Cowboys.

I want more specifics about this CNATRA moratorium on airline talk.
This shit needs to be run through a JAG...seriously. Firing reservists for talking to the IPs? WTF?

That does not change whether or not it’s legal
CNATRA wil get crushed if this comes to a head. Reminds me of Maj Gen James Post a few years ago: https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/...red-for-treason-rant-against-a-10-supporters/
BTW, I cannot wait to see if someone at Tailhook will ask him a direct question about this "I'll fire you" memo during the Flag Officer Q&A. I sure hope they do... and I hope someone films his tap dancing.
In case CNATRA's staff is on AW, here's what you can pass to him:
1. He is obviously concerned about pilot retention. Rightly so. If this is such a big problem then SHOW SOME LEADERSHIP. First things first... show up at your pilot training bases, and meet with the instructor pilots. Do it this week. Tell them your thoughts; what you think the problem is; and how you plan to remove some of the irritants that drive pilots out after their commitment is up. Be realistic. You are not going to fix the problem in your term (especially considering you'll probably get fired soon enough).
2. When you meet with your IP's, say this (a quote I heard from a Naval Aviator friend of mine): ""Hey guys, remember what it was like to be a stud. Around them, keep the focus on being a bad ass war fighter. When helping out the IPs, do a clearing turn and have some SA. Thanks."
3. After the meeting, go to the bar with your O-4's and below. Maybe you'll pick up some unfiltered nuggets of information.
4. Sitting in your castle and throwing out an edict like the one he did is precisely one of those irritant... and not what is expected from a leader.
5. Finally, don't treat your SELRES'... men who are in their 30's 40's... like children. Especially when you later refer to them as "warriors" when doing public speaking. Give them direction and guidance, and let them execute.
6. Oh... and focus on Making Naval Aviation Great Again... sir.

So, the only thing I have seen on this is a post saying that is what CNATRA wants. Has CNATRA actually put out written or verbal policy about this?
This absolutely needs to be brought up at Hook. I hope CNAF is there to be able to answer for this.

Here is the memo.
One of our FOs wiped the overhead panel of a China Southern plane with a sani com and posted it online. Orange. Gross. Sorry for the semi necro post. Haven’t been here in months.
For those of you that qualify for this, don't wait on getting this added to your pilot certificate.
Oh... you have wings, and you don't have an FAA pilot certificate?? You're an idiot. GET IT DONE.
Hey huggy, I have wings and I got a FAA pilot certificate. Did I do good?
