I understand what Vark is saying but it scares me. When we can go to war and not have a human life at stake will we still look at it the same way? Without a life at stake we may become a war machine that just wants to kill........any thoughts on this?

They will be UCASs grossly underfunded on maintenance. And since no pilot is at risk, they can go on a mission with more write-ups. Laughing

Brother, during war lives will always be at stake, if we do it from the cockpit in actual theater or from a control room buried deep beneath the earth, somebody is going to die when munitions fall from the sky.

I think USA is built on strong Christian foundations and as long as I, and any other decent American can vote, we will not be a “Killing Machine”. However, “Carry a Big Stick” for any aggressor should always be in the back of your mind. Salute

While it may seem new, they've been cutting flight hours every year since 2004. At lease ACC has anyways...

I wonder if this will promp more USAF pilots to buy MS "Flight Simulator"s on their own? Wink

AMC cut our flying hours around 20 percent last year, the only problem was that they did not tell us until half way through the 3rd quarter, so we hardly flew at all for the last quarter and a half last year. Made it real tough to get your training beans done, and even harder to stay proficient in the airplane.
