If I'm comprehending your post correctly, a 6-month curtailment is one thing. But the average AF pilot who went to UPT right out of college has a commitment that has them until they are 33 years old.
Curtailing 6 years of commitment? I'd be surprised if that is happening without some extraordinary circumstances.

Yes, I am only addressing the comment that they are all but stop lossing at this point. I have no idea how to cut years off of a UPT commitment other than winning the force shaping lottery. I wish I knew the secret, I would have used it years ago.

Actually, they are approving a high percentage of Palace Chase applications for early separation. Usually 6 months or less off of an ADSC, I was one of them. My guess is this is to facilitate retention of talent by encouraging everyone to stay in the Guard/Reserve since they know they won’t keep us on active duty.

We get any more Marines we’ll have to have the LPA stock the vending machines with crayons.

11F? I’m sure that has something to do with it. Us C-17 guys are cheap (relatively) to replace. It would surprise me to hear of any guys with less than 6 months getting denied. The approval has been delegated to the O-6 PC office director, and it doesn’t even go all the way to HAF. Maybe that’s not the case for 11Fs.
Sorry for the derail, back to discussing y’alls awesome opportunities in the latest vacancy...

It’s odd that many new hires have been forced into 756 and are seat locked for 2 yrs. Meanwhile, a new hire in 737 training (hypothetically) can bid 777. Doesn’t seem like it’s best for the company (more training costs) and definitely not the pilots who put themselves in that position.
It's been very frustrating for 756 hires that had no choice on equipment and live in DEN, IAH, ORD. Almost 3 years seniority to hold ORD. 73/Bus pilots junior to us are bidding on to our equipment while we have to wait out a 2 year seatlock to be based at home.
Whining done....
