When it happened, we fell out of the sky. In a four engine jet transport. This can’t be happening was my first thought as the aircraft shuddered shook and fell. Alarms were going off. I imagined it would be right out of a bugs bunny cartoon with all of us screaming as the airplane dropped thousands of feet. It was deadly quiet on the flight deck as we all struggled to fly the jet. Passengers, rest assured your flight crew will never give up. We made it, talked about it later over beers in the bar. True story fuck you at least I lived a life.

So you and are both tank gunners turned flight engineers? There must be a bunch of you if 2 are on Poal. Sounds like a guy can walk onto the airbase, say 'im a tank gunner let me fly' and they will say 'your F35 is in bay 7 buddy..' The military, what an institution, 'be more than you can be'.

I’m one and the same, AOU has banned all my accounts because he/it thinks I’m a zogbot. To answer your question! No you can’t just walk off the street and become a flight engineer. I had to pass several tests and a flight physical. It took two years to become a fully qualified flight engineer. The washout rate was horrendous. I started in a class of 28 and only two of us finished on schedule. 14 were washed back but eventually passed. They other 12 failed outright. USAF takes flying seriously.

Alts don't multiply your individual impact, particularly if its obvious. You do you, I'd rather 'fly straight' on the site.
