Alright Puma, Eagl, and others. Get your boot polish out...

.....to fill rated STAFF positions so active duty pilots can go back on line.   

It sounds good but, .......


And, oh by the way, there’s no more boot polishing going on.  They wear low profile boots, no polished required.

The new boots don't look cool at all.

But, they are functional for the job.

There's a 50/50 chance that if you wear those boots in the wrong part of town that someone will commit a hate crime against you.

I’d much more prefer to use ‘em for flying.  Less blisters that way and a whole lot more fun.

If you don't like the new boot, just reboot.
