absolutely no aviation jobs are hiring and probably will not be for like a year or more. i mean the industry in general, not just pilot positions
>>2051990Nah the hiring has definitely picked back up after two years of near complete stagnation. The difference now is that every month we break the record (set only last month) for people getting xyz rating. It’s almost the surplus that the military was creating in the Cold War. A lot of ngmi’s.
>>2051995for pilots it's probably gonna be fucked for a little while. the shortage psyop got so many people to open their wallets (and/or their anuses for money lenders) and now there's gonna be a seemingly perpetual log jam for a whilebut even ops jobs are kinda frozen at the moment, and i haven't seen ramp ops jobs available in my city either

>>2051995>>2052005Is it really that bad? Im nearing PPL checkride and planned on going to atp certificate. should I just trade crypto and tend bar
>>2052015well you'll be fine for sure if you don't take out a shit ton of debt
>>2052008Des Moines, Iowa
>>2052008Durango CO
>>2052015It’s a competition. Are you better than most of your peers? OK you’ll probably be fine. There’s a lot of retards, shitskins and clueless women in the pipeline now. By the time a pre-PPL gets to the level of applying to 121’s DEI will probably be in the dustbin of history.So just be better. If you can’t do that then I’d say quit.
>>2052054shitskins and clueless women still beat out the average white man for a job at jewnited. You can't get rid of DEI without setting every HR department on fire and filling the pilot hiring team with exclusively white men. DEI is just the latest acronym for white women's love for destroying white men at every turn.
>>2052033I had a flight attendant pronounce it as “Dess Monies” over the PA kek
>>2052073let me guess. F9 or NK
>dispatchers have jumpseat privileges for airlines in agreements with each other>this include cargo airlines>jumpseat joyride in a 747 because why the fuck not
>>2052082Nah this was at the regionals. But when I was at Spirit, we parked next to Allegiant and a flight attendant asked me who “Alley-Giant” was lol
Flew for the first time with auto pilot today. Was unnerving at first having the plane control itself however I got over that quickly. The G1000 is nice but it's a lot of info.
>>2052527GFC700 or something else?

Is it just me or do people greatly exaggerate and dramatize the difficulty of ATC work? Looking at flightradar for a long ass time it doesn't look that fucking crazy. Even YYZ shit
>>2052688Use a simulator and find out.
>>2052688Being a surgeon isn't all that difficult either. Most are specialized and do the same few cuts hundreds of times a year.What makes both jobs difficult that you have to do them every day for 30+ years and every small mistake you make could kill people.
>>2052688ATC certification is very difficult and the infamous “checkride” is no joke.I know more than one pilot who went through OKC, graduated and couldn’t handle the pressure of being a controller so they got their ratings instead. For the majority of flying jobs there’s no question that ATC is way more difficult, way more intensive and way more demanding mentally than being a pilot.Some exceptions are out there. A small segment of military pilots, agriculture pilots, many (but not all) helicopter guys, single-pilot floatplane ops…that stuff can be just as demanding as ATC with obviously high accident rates.

one of my friends is a regional first officer and he told me that he fucked the female captain on each night if his 4 day trip. But they aren’t dating, they just fucked and that was it. It scares me to think that when I become an FO and fly with female captains, that they just take the dick like that.
>>2052878Are you afraid you won't be able to take as much as them?
>>2052879I know they won’t have sex with me. But it’s crazy to think that I’m going to have an attractive professional sitting in the left seat next to me, but behind hotel doors she’s a freak
