The Airbus 350-1000 is a favorite among the airlines that fly the long routes. The Airbus 321 Neo is a favorite for airlines looking for a single aisle aircarft. Airbus probably has a longer wait list but they have proven to be the better manufacturer. The last time Boeing hit a home run was with the B777-300ER. This is was long time ago. Most airline execs know the future is Airbus unless the B777-9 is a grand slam. With Boeing's recent history I would not have bet so big on them.

I have sent numerous emails to this address([email protected]) and got the email for the phone call on July 21 in late May. I send one email every two weeks to the same address requesting an uipdate on my application. I do not call them because they same thing that happens to you happens to me as well.

The email said they will call me on August 7 2025 between hours of 0600 to 1200 Manila time. This is a long time frame to recieve a call. I wonder if they are trying to get their act together?

Just got a phone call from this number: +1 202 237 06451. It rung once and the caller hung up. . I think it was the US Embassy in Manila. Then I got an email from FBU that stated : " we called but you did not answer". Ok, kind of hard to answer after only one ring. Just as Dcheech said I don't believe anything these clowns say

Had my FBU Manila phone call on July 21, 2025. At the conclusion of the phone call the rep said "all in order and your application will now be sent to the US.". Today (Aug 6) I got an email from FBU that I am scheduled for my phone interview on August 7 2025 between the hours of 0600-1200 Manila time; To me it looks like FBU is operating like S.N.A.F.U and is now on the road to F.U.B.A.R. I guess if you just turn the letters around on FBU you can easily get tot FUBAR. Anyway now on month 6 of this application and no progress.

Such a beautiful sound. Especially if one is pinned down.

Yes. That could have been the other option. USAF has tested this aircraft for CAS and possibly fill the gap when the greatest CAS aircraft is sent to the boneyard: A10 Warthog.

This aircraft is the ideal type for the Cambodia border mission. It flies low and can loiter much longer than a F-16 or the Gripen. Also, cheaper to procure and operate.

I watched a lot of the NtSB hearing investigating the mid air crash between an US Army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Eagle regional jet that occurred on Jan 29, 2025 at DCA (Reagan National Airport). The CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) transcripts for the Army helicopter was released and I could not believe what I saw. The pilot flying the helicopter, an Army captain, told her the instructor conducting the evaluation flight that she was "feeling a little dizzy". This was a night time evaluation flight while under NVG's (NIght Visioin Goggles) and was conducted within DCA airpace. I am wondering why the pilots did not go "goggles up" or even terminate the flgiht and leave DCA airspace. As we all know 67 people died as a result of this collision. This mid air should have never happened in the first place. I commend the NTSB and especially chairperson Jennifer Homendy for asking the tough questions to both the Army and the FAA. For those who ever donned NVG's you know it feels disorienting. I cannot imagine flying an aircraft with those on in a crowded airspace that is DCA. Also, some pilots feel spatial disorientation while flying. This can occurr while flyiing in either actulal or simulated intrument conditions. I myself had spatial disorentaton while conducting an instrucment approach in a general aviation aircraft but I was able to recover rather quickly. The title of the vidoe says "Vertigo" but I beleive spatial disorientaion might be the correct term.

Good luck. I filed back in Feb. I agree Manila is useless. So far the application for retirement at 62 is still pending. However it took only 4 months to get my 4 minute and 15 second phone call from Manila. After the phone call nothing has changed.

What the heck how about an AOC and Zoran ticket for the Dems 2028. Let them ge full board and Bernie and AOC.

Yes. Too many years in CA and now in CNX. Had a really difficult time in Deceember in Incheon S.Korea a few years back. Also more of a big city guy and places like Wyoming and Montana are big, open and beautiful but not my cup of tea to actually iive in. But I have been to Nashville many times and thought it was a great city.

Or never hired in the first place. They could work Traffic detail and write parking citations. As for working the front desk I always wore my vest and had my firearmw with me. Especially at night some weird things happen in police station lobbies. More than a few times I had to draw, call for back up and made arrests while working the front desk.

Sorry did not realize it had already been covered. Anyway the LAPD hired two from the DACA program. Just one problem: The DACA officers could not buy a firearm for off duty carry. So the DACA LAPD officers can carry the department issued firearm while on duty but have to leave them in their lockers once they are off the clock. No way I could imagine things like this when I was working the streets of LA back in the stone ages of the 1980's, 90's and 2000's. "Strange New World".
