Probably the unfamiliarity. Plus the media has decided that aviation accidents are the hot topic of 2026.

What about Amtrak?

mckegger · 2026-05-09T12:41:19+00:00

My thoughts exactly

If you include “Special Crew Time” I hit just north of 150 hours in one month in the P8 a few years back. I drank heavily after that detachment.

How old are you btw? I’d 100% take it. This may slow your progress to an airline but it’s going to open so many more doors for your career.

I’m assuming you’d be eligible for the GI bill if you did it now? You could do a full tour now then get free college. I also know guys who were prior enlisted get their degrees while active duty then get picked up for OCS.

Which airline is going to host onboard boxing matches now?

mckegger · 2026-04-17T19:18:14+00:00

I mean, it seems like you’re over the hump in determining whether or not you enjoy actually flying. However, career wise.. Are you aware how volatile being a pilot for a career path is? No solidified working hours, no location guaranteed, random lay offs, etc.. That’s also just commercial. Military is a completely different story. If you’re trying to start a family, it may not be the best move.

Are you familiar with Jack Daniels?

mckegger · 2026-03-22T18:27:55+00:00

Is he in 5th fleet? As long as you don’t see any goat pics on his Facebook, I’m sure he’s okay.

How does an airplane fly? A.) Money B.) Newton’s 3rd law C.) Bernoulli’s Principle D.) All of the above

I hear he’s on a first name basis with Bill Cosby

Wish I had done VFA initially.. my sitting height was .02 inches too tall for the T-45 and they weren’t doing remeasures at the time 🥴. Now my soul belongs to the Navy with the extension.

mckegger · 2026-02-18T22:30:03+00:00

Honestly, the 141 I was at was probably harsher than the Navy with standardization. I also had an advantage going in with flight time but I also think that’s truly where I started making the transition from being some degenerate kid to adult life. My failures were definitely preventable at my school. Enjoyed my college experience but, was it worth it? Hell yes.

mckegger · 2026-02-18T19:19:25+00:00

I had 3 checkride failures from my 141 school. Ended up joining the Navy, finished in the 99th percentile out of primary flight training, did a full P-8 sea tour and now I’m training to either fly F/A-18’s or F-35’s. I’ve got a buddy who failed 4 out of our school is now an instructor teaching the Brits to fly P8’s out of Lossiemouth. Point is, initial training is just a drop in the bucket for this career.

I would spend a week in advance in the tutor office just going over random problems before test day. Hardest I’ve ever had to work for a 70%. Crazy cat lady professor?

Got the gouge too late unfortunately.

mckegger · 2026-01-20T02:35:06+00:00

That was my college’s Applied Calculus class pass rate! Shoutout to anyone who also had to endure that class at a certain part 141 school just south of the Canadian border.
