00:00 - 00:03 | Pilot bonus take rates are not falling as quickly |
00:04 - 00:05 | 36% at Seymour, 51% at Langley, |
00:05 - 00:07 | their highest ever at Holloman: 12% |
00:08 - 00:12 | While they only have 1 IP to 15 wingmen, |
00:12 - 00:15 | Korea, Eielson, Shaw, & Misawa are 100% manned. |
00:17 - 00:19 | And F-35 retention is... |
00:19 - 00:21 | probably inflating our numbers somewhat. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir.... |
00:27 - 00:28 | F-35 rates... |
00:31 - 00:33 | F-35 had the lowest retention of all the fighters. |
00:34 - 00:36 | We received another 7 separations today |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone planning to go Guard, Reserves, or Airlines, get out now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | They said it was not about the money! |
01:15 - 01:17 | They got Friday shirts, patches, & more hours. |
01:18 - 01:23 | These millennial assholes are unhappy flying fighter jets |
01:25 - 01:28 | All that PME wasted. |
01:29 - 01:31 | I gave Maverick my #1 Major strat. |
01:31 - 01:34 | He separated the next week. |
01:34 - 01:37 | We can't keep guys that worked their whole life for this. |
01:37 - 01:40 | AFPC wants to recruit kids who don't even want to fly. |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, recruiting diverse middle schoolers will fix our issue. |
01:42 - 01:46 | Fucking idiot, we cant keep bros that wanted to do nothing else. |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, we can produce our way out of this. |
01:48 - 01:52 | And who will teach these shit-head wingmen? |
01:52 - 01:55 | Fucking Alexa with virtual reality? |
01:55 - 01:57 | It takes a true killer to forge a fighter pilot. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Flight Leads are teaching now because we have no IPs left. |
02:00 - 02:03 | I passed an "IPUG" DBFM yesterday... |
02:04 - 02:08 | He hit the god damn floor every set. Bubble bust on 6 of 7. |
02:08 - 02:13 | "Good enough" they said. "Did he crash?" they asked. |
02:14 - 02:16 | He ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing. |
02:17 - 02:21 | I'm done with this shit. I'm hooking them all. Let them fire me. |
02:27 - 02:29 | Look at me: I signed the $25k bonus. |
02:30 - 02:34 | I should have gone to the airlines years ago. I'd be gaining massive seniority. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Riding the top of this retirement wave. |
02:41 - 02:42 | ...a wide-body captain... |
02:43 - 02:47 | ...paid off my house, cars, kids' college....maybe a condo or two in Hawaii. |
02:48 - 02:53 | Instead I'm going on a 180 Saudi remote and my whore wife is leaving me... |
02:54 - 02:56 | She couldn't take the deployments with 4 kids. TDY pics from Poland. |
02:56 - 02:59 | "But at least it's not a 365." THANKS. |
02:59 - 03:03 | Service before self: Afghanistan, Libya, and Iraq...are any of them better? |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok. I'm sure Iraq is better from your capping. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Our Generals are briefing congress again. |
03:19 - 03:23 | "Pilots are leaving for 'quality of service and culture'. It's not about the money" |
03:25 - 03:28 | Why would they stay? Fun patches and helmets? |
03:31 - 03:34 | We can't even reliably pay them for official travel. |
03:40 - 03:46 | We do have free healthcare...or they could gross $300k with 16% matching 401k..... |
03:46 - 03:49 | on only 12 work days per month. |
03:53 - 03:56 | This is fine. |
