I’ve heard from a source who is a pilot in the army that they are getting slashed on their budget and have not been doing routine PMs and maintenance.
Not saying this is the case, but that’s what’s behind a lot of army choppers malfunctioning lately

Nah man, I read the Army’s report. It’s not the lack of funding, being under manned, the extreme pace of flight ops, or lack of maintenance.
It’s the bad judgement of the junior NCO ranks, in particular the E-5s and 6s making bad decisions to fly.
That is literally in the Army’s report, it pissed me off like nothing else.

Have to pay for those unpaid mortgage payments and the forgiven student loan debt.

This is not the case in the AF. MX personnel are very well funded and QC is over the top. AF MX folks are primadonnas, and have a higher opinion of themselves than Maverick in Top Gun, all this in addition to be being the whiniest bunch you've ever seen.

I don’t believe that. No one is going to short the aircraft maintenance. They would ground aircraft before doing that.
