Because some pilots just can't learn to play well with others...

Some pilots don't need the help.
They can file their own flight plans and make coffee.

Question:
I was wondering how the assignment of planes works. Do the higher ranks like Cpt. get their own jet, while others just share?

Totally. It's just like a company car. You can also paint it how you like. I'm geting some trick old-school Cali Kid hot rod flames on mine when I become CAG.

Hmmm...thanks
You can paint it however you want?
Yup, mine is gonna look awesome - The paintjob is going to look like the Memphis Belle. Exactly like the Memphis Belle.
Yeah, paint it up any way you want.
Also, "gullibility" has been removed from the dictionary.
EDIT: Okay, okay. This is the stupid questions thread.
No, you don't "get your own plane" when you're the CAG. You fly whatever plane Maintainance gives you that day, no matter what rank you are. The names on the side of the plane are just for feel-good purposes.
CAG does get his name on a plane from each squadron, and the "CAG bird" is usually the one brightly-painted plane. But the squadron decides how to paint it, and CAG doesn't always fly it.

Thanks man...that's what I was getting at...the whole name on the side.
Some ghost flames might look cool
SHOCKING!!!!!! Why on earth would you do such a thing?!
Haha. . .I can see the reactions of the Diversity Bullies, now. . .
Actually, I bet they'd just make you put that Hasselhoff picture from that other thread on one side, to even things out. Equal opportunity, and all.

The one time my squadron had names on the side, it was the aircraft you were assigned for your pilot monthlies...
Do they at least try and hook you up with the plane with your name on it? Seems kinda dumb to have names on the birds if you don't get 'yours' kinda often. Thats like using someone else's coffee mug!
