Young guy, married and just separated from the AF with no roots to pull up so renting an apartment in the city (SFO) is doable for he and his wife. We are living in good times when people in their first 2 months have options like this. 27 year old 777 FO. 38 years to current mandatory retirement. He, and many others like him being hired this year should have excellent careers.

27 and just separated from the AF??? How does that work...

I have friends who separated at the end of their FAIP tour. The youngest was hired by United at 26.

Not in today’s day and age, the USAF is bleeding pilots and doing everything they can to hang on to them.

As was previously asked, how was this pilot able to get out “in today’s retention environment”.
ReadyRsv, could you enlighten us?

Where do we stand now...now that Delta plus is gone?.

Maybe we could come up with a formula based on an aircraft’s productivity. Something like speed x seat capacity x constant. It would work for every fleet, including a small NB. Nevermind.......

I too am sick that we are still dealing with contract language that was forced upon us during bankruptcy.

He was an Eagle driver and he told them he identified as “straight” so they let him out immediately.

Yeah, what year was that? 1991? In 2003 they were letting anyone that wanted to get out loose, today they’re all but stop lossing.

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.
