turns out United didnt hit the truck
>>2075194PF hit a pole. What race were the pilots?
>>2075151what are the chances there’s an a380 accident before they eventually get phased out
>>2075167You mean a skywest lifer and a mesa lifer? Nice try.
still waiting for class date :c
>>2075217Coulter's Law applies here I suspect.>>2075228There was that one in Australia where they couldn't shut the thrust off in an engine.
That private plane crash was wild. No landing gear. Didn't run more fuel out? WHy?
>>2075167kek, had this happen mid flight once and both of us told the moralfag to fuck off
>>2075167Ever notice how meowing intensifies around ATL?
5hrs newfag just starting out. I've decided to do my PPL mostly in a Cub and a Citabria. I was somewhat shocked to find out that only 4 out of the 18 CFIs at the school had the tailwheel endorsement. I can't understand why you wouldn't just get it if the school has the planes. It seems obviously cooler to me. I understand it may take longer to be able to solo but after you are a CFI and have hundreds of hours under your belt you're tellin me you're not gonna go fly the cool stuff just for the hell of it?
>>2075420youll definitely be better off for it.
>>2075416it's the delta pilots.....
>If I was given the controls of a 737 during the landing phase and the plane was still 10,000 feet in the air, what would likely be the outcome? Would I crash the plane?If you were suddenly handed the controls at 10,000 feet with no guidance, the odds of a successful landing would be quite low, and a crash or severe accident would be a likely outcome.
love taking photos of abx/dhls on the rampbought a maxxum 7d from a guy in pennsylvania for $40 and the jpegs out of it are creamy this is with a molded up tamron 28-300mm
>>2075494bonus big ass snow pusher
>>2075495like seeing the fedexes lined up too in the afternoon

>>2075494JFK? Nice photos.
and once again there goes 3 more FEMALE FOs to you know where..
>>2075553I don't know where. Where?
the airline with this theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH2PH0auTUU
>>2075571Pan Am. No doubt.
>>2075532yes and thx
The X-59 looks so sexy. What an absolute beauty of an airplane
>>2075568JEWnited. Man they are going to have an abysmal safety record in the next 5-10 years as the diversity hires start upgrading to captain.
Bike packing past a major airport in Denmark
I fucking hate being in Radio Control. >fuckton of overflies and inbound outbounds>no radar scopes>nothing but a clock, pen, and flightstrips>static noise earraping you all day>have to sift through the noise to catch a faint callsign>have to repeat transmissions in a loud voice thrice on average because piece of shit pilots can barely speak english.My throat hurts after every shift. I fucking hate this. I should've stayed in approach.
>>2075420I think the CFIs just arent checked out to teach it, they might have the endorsement already. at my school you have to trained to teach in the tailwheels, teaching it is harder than just flying it
Does anyone own a plane? Ive been playing a lot of MSFS 2024 and I WANT a DA62 so fucking bad if anyone has a couple milly free they want to drop me
>>2075553>>2075613It will be worth it when we get to fuck them though right
>>2075659What is radio control
>>2075721Nta, but um, sex? Im a 37 year old left seat regional pilot who has never had sex. No legacy captain will want me
>>2075723>Im a 37 year old left seat regional pilot who has never had sex.this is not funny, sorry boomer
>>2075704I asked, apparently some of them fly it but they are unwilling to instruct tailwheel because the likelihood of an incident is much higher which could affect the future airline career. Personally I am not deterred. The school also has a pitts and I absolutely need to get my ass in that thing once I git gud. Also there are only 3 now apparently and one of them is a semi retired old guy who doesn't really take regular students just does the "you are ok to solo" checkride for tailwheel. So really just 2 guys lol.
>>2075721
the turtles at jfk are free you just have to pick them up before they get ran over or ingested
>>2075799they show up for 2 weeks in june to cross the kilo extension (base of rwy 4L closest to jamaica bay) theyre the size of dinner plates and bite/pee/scratch you
>>2075722You know those atcs you call when you're in the middle of the ocean? The guys you contact before Control? The ones who SELCAL you? Do any of you even recognize us?
red paint = documented in the past (returnees)
>>2075862How does it feel knowing you are just a middleman between pilots and ATC and have been made completely redundant by CPDLC?
TIL that american cargo planes don't have overhead cranes. I was re-watching that video about the IL-76 delivering trucks to a canadian mine in the arctic and wondered why the fuck are they using an IL-76? I was shocked. Americans don't have any cranes. What kind of retard designs a cargo plane with no cranes? Not even a variant? What happens when they need to load a single heavy object with no wheels?
>>2076056Better question, how do I get this job? Sounds fuckin rad.
>>2075994>CPheh.But yeah, it sucks 90% of the time and the only reason "they" booted my ass off approach was because I had the shittiest GPA in the batch and put me here as punishment. They didn't even put me in Search und Rescue even though most ATCs there just watch netflix 95% of the time.
>>2076113Oof. How diverse is ATC? I've only done one tower/tracon tour and it was basically 100% white, but this was 12 years ago. Lately I've been hearing more and more shitskin voices on the radio and it makes my skin crawl. Quite a few ramp controllers are jeets now too.
>>2076149Because ICAO pushed DEI. I'm not even joking. Back at the academy we had exams on fucking gender sensitivity. Thankfully I heard from later batches this was getting phased out because you can't bear the absolute humiliation of getting BTFO'd the fucking course from a literal Karen subject.>but other races?Thankfully only pure citizens are allowed to even attempt the application phase. That's probably a western thing.
>>2076174>a woman beat me in a basic test meant to filter out absolute drooling spastics so we had to get rid of background checkswell that's reassuring
>>2075960You arent going to eat them, are you?
>>2076196i read in Exquemelin's book on pirates that supposedly turtle is fucking delicious but makes you go blind
>>2076230Im off consuming flesh, but the last thing id ever eat is a dopey, ancient miracle of a turtle, x1000 that from it being essentially a filter of a ny area environ. dear god.
>>2076234to be fair the waters around nyc are pretty clean in recent years but id imagine they taste pretty gameydifferent camera (k1ii)
>>2076248
>>2076249c17s are based we rarely get any usaf planes at jfk other than the occasional cargo (c17 usually but once saw a c5 and a c130...think we once had luftwaffe with a a400m here too)
>>2076250funny seeing a little seaplane like this at a major international airport surrounded by widebodies, scary when they sneak past you on the airfield
>>2076248More AA photos pls
>>2075333For what program?
>>2075611It looks like some Convair prototype from the 60's. I love it.
>>2076251That's neat I didn't know they made a float plane variant of the PC-12.
>>2076341yes
>>2076341van ruined it but im gonna start camping out here on the ramp in the mornings...whenever atc sends AALs right on alpha to depart 22R the 777s just tower over you
>>2076356dont remember if i shared this777 is probably my favorite widebody other than the dc11s
>>2076360Great photo. Perfect time of day and lighting for it. I love how the shadows are falling on the tower and the rudders.
My FO just asked our delta jump seater for a letter of recommendation
>>2076355>>2076356>>2076360Fucking awesome, I'm out on LTD right now so these pics are great motivation for me. I'm transferring to DFW soon. 320 CA is 3.5 years away and WB FO is 5.5 years away. Can't decide if I should be a narrow chud for the rest of my career or go chad WB FO. Pic rel. Path A is NB CA, Path B is WB FO > WB CA
>>2076368Honestly based. Shoot your shot with someone who can attest to your flying ability. If they duck you there is 99% chance of zero issues for daring to ask a DL douche.>>2076388Hello junior to me. The bus sucks ass, go 737 and grow a pair of testicles. Especially prior to a widebody transition assuming you've never flown the guppy before. Fuck DFW. Fuck the AirBussy. Just go NB Capt and then WB FO afterwards as a downbid. You get a fancy star on your wings, and you're future proofing as you're not wasting potential income as a Capt sitting idly as a NB FO. At my seniority I can hold NB Capt for 2-4 years before holding the junior LAX 777 FO spot, the only risk is losing my first "up n out" to escape the widebody if I dislike the commute or hate the lifestyle. You never know when the music stops, and aside from encouraging you to explore the B737 prior to upgrade, you should upgrade, THEN downbid to WB FO.
>>2076414Cool, where did you come from?I’m an NK refugee so the bus is forever ingrained in my soul. I think upgrade then downgrade is the move if QOL lives up to the hype. I’m moving to DFW to buy acreage next year because I want my kids to grow up on a ranch.
Passed my instrument checkride
>>2076388Is this true? Being a captain for that long only pays 900k more over 30 years?
proud of this pic, was through a windshield and i had to crop my wipers out too
>>2076768
I fucken love this plane bros. We always take off and land in the grass, instructor says asphalt is an insult to the cub. The only airport I have landed at that even has an asphalt runway so far is the school's. We go to back country grass fields to practice. I still suck of course and am very inconsistent, but it's ok, I also don't ever do go-arounds because if you are too high you can just slip down sideways like nobody's business. Some of them are extremely short, bumpy, and lined with trees but that also doesn't matter because you can plop the plane down almost vertically. People come out of their houses to take cell phone videos of me landing sideways and doing my wobbly baby pilot takeoffs just because it's a cool vintage plane. The few instruments it has are suggestions, either inaccurate or barely functional. Look out the window, that's your instrument.When I get to doing cross country shit I'll probably start flying something with modern and actually functional avionics but I am glad I chose this way to learn fundamentals. Bonus: I never have to worry about it being booked out because very few other students fly it. Heck I might even be the only one with just a student pilot certificate flying it.
>>2076764congrats bro
>>2076765Anon you need to be English proficient to be a pilot.
>>2076830>26 years as captain >15 million>18 years FO/6 years captain>14.1 million What am I reading incorrectly? A whole 20 more years as a captain only nets 900k more? Seems ridiculous
>>2075420Theyre too chickenshit about ground looping is about it
Flew my first solo the other day bros feels good
>>2076352repubyHopefully don’t end up waiting a year+
turned down a interview at mco ops (airfield operations specialist pic rel; im jfk ops now working the same) because fiance didn't want to move (she makes $100k as a graphic designer)turns out it wouldn't have been that much of a paycut ($27/hr base -> $38/hr top step vs my current pay of $39/hr and $45/hr top step in 2 years + unlimited overtime here)starting to second guess my decision desu would've been a good opportunity to leave nyc i think if i was single or making less money i would be more open to it at the same time i hate the fact that a starter home costs $700k vs $350k down there
>>2076928Gotta live in the city to get access to those daycare for women jobs though
>>2076781Fly your own plane? Nice.
>>2077002Ha I wish, it belongs to the school/school's owner.
>>20769281. You're not married. Engaged is just engaged, you are NOT married yet. Do not make compromises for a GF with a ring.2. Graphic design is getting BTFO by AI slop, how future proof is her job? 3. Cost of living is much lower in MCO, as long as you don't mind the spics.
why would you even be in a relationship in the city? every girl there has fucked 100 guys minimum.
>>2077037i got mine pre-covid and we've been together 7 years, she's not vaxxed and she's loyal to a fault. if anything nyc is unironically the best dating market in america; 60/40 female to male ratio + a decent chunk of the guys are gay. i think i would still be incel if i lived somewhere else. >>20770341. isn't entirely her fault; i had 3 hours to decide on a friday and figured it wasn't worth the $500 flight round trip + 2-3 days pto at the time, but then i ran the numbers and realized the biggest difference would be the overtime (lack of it; some of my coworkers doubled their salary and cleared $150-200k living at work. i personally made $70k base + $50k ot last year). the other question is if its union or non-union. its unironically difficult to get fired from this job unless you really try while down there i might find myself working the ramp or similar if it doesn't work out (or shitcanned for being late or something equally stupid...we still use paper sign in/out sheets ffs) 2. probably <2 years before her company gets bought out and she gets a severance, and desu again she could simply just work remote. she's skilled at her job at least. figure we would try for a child then before we get too old and ends up retarded 3. yeah my biggest issue is a house here is $5k/mo mortgage after $150k down payment in long island (750k 3 bed 2 bath house in massapequa); down there a house is $2600/mo (75k down payment 360k house). the spics don't bother me at all. the only upside of long island is the schools are some of the best in the country but you pay the property tax to make up for that. the other factor is her family is all here in nyc, while mine moved down to orlando (mom getting old @ 71y/o + accessibility to childcare if needed is there in either city). if i had less stability i would be more willing to experiment. aka no relationship, no employment, less pay, etc. at the same time i fucking hate nyc. too crowded.
>>2077047Just move dude. Fuck jew york.
all this talking of moving and choosing where to live, le sigh. as a dispatcher we're limited to exclusively high CoL shitheaps with garbage amazon-tier pay at regionals and i suppose enough at the majors but there should still be an inflation-resistant raise. i guess it's not as insulting as the mechanics though, that field has a genuine labor shortage because they don't get paid enough despite being perhaps the most fundamental to operations and being the most physically intensive.>>2077047well if it means anything my mother had me at a whopping 38 years old and i turned out fine. it's not ideal though, always try to shoot for a younger age
Got a chance to go up a tower and have a tour at a big(gish) mixed use airbase for job.Some C130s flew over quite low and saw some take offs/landingsm
I freaking hate being a CFI. I take it so personally when my students fail. When my students succeed I feel good for maybe 10 seconds and then it’s back to stressing over another student. I hate dealing with Part 141 bullshit. I hate that if you miss one tiny detail in the regs you’ve fucked your entire students course up. I hate the bureaucracy. I love to fly but being an instructor is just awful. Just gotta keep going until I get my hours.
>>2077098gonna be a while what with the pilot and cfi bloat the industry is gonna be dealing with for a bit
>>2077100Why is there a bloat?
>>2077108pilot shortage lies mostly
>>2077112You at 1500 and having trouble finding a job or somethin?
>>2077088>well if it means anything my mother had me at a whopping 38 years old and i turned out fine. Says the autistic /n/ poster
>United swapping flights on a daily basis I hate those retards. Our TSA overseer will keep having melty over procedures coz they failed to inform us early enough.AGAIN...
Is joining a cadet program actually good idea or just a meme? Most of them have affiliated schools I dont go to anyway, but some dont have that requirement
>>2077135Everyone around me advised avoiding the one in my area. Apparently the school used is somewhat scammy and even though you get $12.5k, "up to" $27k to put towards flight training if you are accepted into the program, the costs of that school end up exceeding going somewhere else by a fair amount anyways even minus the stipend. Plus they have other bad reputation issues like being a pilot mill, having planes out for maintenance a lot, and even a nasty crash. It also does not mean guaranteed job at a regional after your 1500 either. This may not be the case where you are though so I'd just ask around and talk to people.
>>2077117most people aren't getting jobs at 1500 anymore. it's not competitive. only way to get in at 1500 is if you're already in a cadet program or something, maybe some real networking.
>>2077139It’s easier as a helicopter pilot but I know a ton of airplane pilots obviously. If you are not in a cadet program then wtf are you doing? Just apply to all of them. And if you’re not networking this may not be the right career path for you. Not you specifically but pilots in general.
>>2077135>>2077136Most airplane pilots I know who are aspiring to be airline pilots are in a ton of different cadet programs. They didn’t attend school through a cadet program.
>>2077141me i didn't even bother going for it. i went for dispatch. less likely to ruin my life that way. only thing that sucks is lower pay and more restrictions on where i can live.
>>2077158Wuss
>>2077160i'll take the no debt and home every night and mod-able schedule desu. maybe i'll get a ppl and instrument in the future for fun though
>>2077141>And if you’re not networking this may not be the right career path for youWhat is the best way to network when youre a straight white man and so there are no conferences for us
>>2077164>What is the best way to network when youre a straight white man and so there are no conferences for usHave you ever been to one? Its literally all White men. You just have to pretend like you love niggers/women/fags/gooks/whatever conference you're at. They're fucking demoralizing and you will hate yourself for going but they absolutely will help get you hired.
>>2077164Yeah pretty much this >>2077166The media may make it seem like it’s the opposite but this industry is still very, very much dominated by white men who prefer white men. In addition to that, make friends at flight school, go to conferences. Hell, it even works sometimes to literally go to a hangar at some airport and start introducing yourself to people. Aviation is very much still an industry where showing up with a resume and asking to speak to the manager can actually land you a job. And no I’m not a boomer.
>>2077167>>2077164Agreed. Not a boomer either but embrace the boomer mentality when talking to the old farts in legacy hiring departments. They eat that shit up. I went to the fag one (disgusting btw) and the company representative conducting my meet and greet was the director of training. I unironically followed the look em in the eye firm handshake boomer guidance and it got me an interview. Don't overdo your resume. Keep it short, sweet and to the point, a recruiter only has like 30 seconds to read it. Do interview prep as well that shit helps you polish your stories so you don't ramble like a retard.
>>2077166>>2077167>>2077169Why would you go to the fag one man? Isn't there one for women?
>>2077176Because my last airline was going out of business and fag convention was the first one available. I went to the women one too and it was honestly worse.
>>2077179>went to the women one too and it was honestly worse.No sexo?
Lmao I’d be gay too if I’d have to deal with The women here
Would you fly between Israel and Iran nowadays?I did but it felt sketchy ngl. Everyone I talk to says they would not. But even if rockets start flying, the odds must be low?Pic related (Homs)
>>2077196It's not the ground to ground missiles I'd be worried about but the achmed the sand farmer got ahold of a manpad and decides to test it out. Or schmoolie the IDF guy decides to pretend to be achmed the sand farmer in the hopes of creating some international incident that will give him another excuse to shoot at children.
What
Sand farmer missle-butt whatever the fuck is more concerned about shitz of brains. Likes never judge a book by its cover and also misses that last pointer
>>2077188Married, and I find female pilots ugly inside and out
>>2077222I don't have a lot of experience with this yet but one of the CFIs at my school is a woman. She's like 50-something, only sport pilot, and I did take note that there was no ring on her finger.
>>2077249hoeflation
>>2075151who here has a pilot's license?
I just finished my En-Route Control "checkride" /gag/bros. I passed by the skin of my teeth. Holyshit this is the most stressful thing I've ever done in my entire fucking life.
Hello /n/, I often like to watch live airports cam during the day, I'm looking for some suggestion on the topic. So far I mostly watch Madeira airport (for windy landings and the amazing position of the cam, frontal slightly angled) and Sint Maarten Maho Beach (this one mostly for turboprops which I like the most.Do you know some other interesting cams? Thanks.
>>2077375You have no jet time
>>2077486greenland has livestream of probably all their airports on youtube, scenery there is incredible but the movements are sporadic
>>2077457As ATC or pilot?
>>2077503Thanks, there are so many Greenland airports that probably are really all of them. Sadly they choose to have the planes parking lot on cam only and the traffic is really low.Today I found Malaga airport that has a front view of the landing runway and also Birmingham has a front cam of the runway.
Which one of you fags jumped?
>>2077542They expected one of us in the wreckage
Sad news bros, school cub is out for maintenance for an undetermined amount of time. Still determined to do tailwheel. Guess I am flying an aerobatic citabria now.
>>2077585Cubs are giant piles of shit, The Champ family is a much better plane is every conceivable way. How much horsepower on the Citabria?also>Airbatic citaborea
>>2077591A whopping 115 when it was new, not 115 today. Also flight was canceled this evening, too hot. Instructor barely made it over the trees and couldn't make pattern altitude with a girl student onboard. I miss the cub already.
>>2077457tfw in D side training right now at my facility and it looks like i'm gonna pass but fuck is the last section getting tough
>>2075151Good looking, looking good
>>2076056We use pallets and its way better.
>>2077630I assume you're looking at a 160 horse PA-18 super cub vs a 115 horse Citabria then. I'll defend the Champ/Citabrias for everything but neither Cubs nor Champs have enough power in their vintage versions.160hp is the Citabria min IMO, 180hp is the perfect amount for 95% of operations, the 8GCBC Scount is really the best tailwheel trainer due to the usable load compared to every other in the Champ family but they're super hard to find for training.Also, metal wings > wood wings for obvious reasons
>>2077784Nah it's a 1940s J-5. I think it's just really lightweight in comparison, not reinforced for aerobatics. Both planes are all fabric, no aluminum wings. Flew the Citabria Saturday evening, in comparison I would say it is indeed more work than the cub mostly because it doesn't give nearly as much feedback in the stick. The cub practically flies itself, you just float around effortlessly like you're a paper airplane. Citabria is probably designed to be light in the stick on purpose, also for aerobatics. Takeoff roll is definitely much longer and the first time I did it on a short grass field we had to thread the trees a bit because I held the nose down too long, used to the heavy back pressure you get when the tail comes up on the cub. I also almost stalled it the first time landing because the trim control is a slider that has a waaaay bigger range of motion than the cub's which is a crank that you crank around and around and around. On this thing all the way back is practically trimmed to do a loop lmao. Apart from that landing is not too different, just a little bit faster. The brakes are also extremely shitty so when landing in the grass at the school's airport that has a taxiway exiting halfway down the asphalt runway I ended up doing a jump over it lol. I think it will be fine once I get used to it's quirks.
Im getting a useless pilot degree
>>2075720Bro I would settle for a C152 with extended range tanks and a full glass cockpit. Six packs are great but I need more IFR time than I need six pack time.
>>2077791Why? You don't need it anymore.
>>2077823AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>2077842?
>>2077791Where from
>>2077875TESU
>>2077882Assuming this is Tommy Edison from my google search, I would NOT attend that pile of shit. It's not a legitimate flight university nor does it qualify for RATP waivered mins. Don't pay university rape prices if you're not getting value out of it.www.faa.gov/pilots/training/atp/media/Institutional_Authority_List.pdf
>>2077905>legitimate flight university Its a state school, accreditedYou transfer in a shit ton of FAA and sophia credits and get your toilet paper checkmark after taking 2 classes
I will definitely die a virgin. Today while in the airport, all at separate times, I has 3 female FOs, and 2 Fas who I’ve all worked with in the past come over to talk to me at their own free will. But it makes me feel uncomfortable
>>2077912Word, my bad. I stand by my statement but it's a different ball game if you're already rated and just cashing in for a degree. Heil Hitler.
>>2077917Bro date a normal girl. Take her up in a cessna at night. You cannot lose even if you're otherwise a sperg. Just pretend you're Ryan Gosling. Female FO is just gonna cheat on you anyways.

>>2078048>She left a bottle of hot sauce on my seat during a lav breakYeah, I don’t know what that means because I’m not a gayboi like you

>>2078170>don't log it anymoreNot sure who you work for, but remember than all the Pan Am and Eastern guys thought they'd never need their logbooks again either. I've sat next to too many guys that have one simple warning, never stop keeping your logbook. I still keep mine at my AA Captain job, you never know when you're fucked next.Unrelated, idk how dude can let their wives have a period. ~9 months preggo, then ~6-18 months no period while breastfeeding, then the cycle repeats. Obviously you need to stop pulling out brother. My wife has only had one period in the last 3 years and honestly that's one too many.
>>2075631Oh right, that reminds me of something! Went cycling revently and I came by a random airport in the middle of nowhere with some weird LGBT flying craft on display. I think the company that owns it had a suspiciously chinese sounding name. And also came by some LGBT railroad things.Reminded me of the aero and rail fags that just wont leave my cycling board and I took some pics for you. I hope it gets your stick stiff or whatever reaction it's supposed to invoke.

>>2076196No he will sell them to some gook shop for like 50 bucks a shell.The gook will eat them
>>2078208Every dude says that and yet the union logbook ain't organized enough for an application after your company goes under. Maybe if you get furloughed.>>2078166Delta, please enjoy your ATL domicile
>>2077661In training we called the R-Side and D-Side the Retard Side and the Dipshit Side. The amount of braindead mistakes you will make at the scopes even in simulation will make your instructors choke laughing. Sometimes they will throw in both runway changes and an emergency at the same time while everybody else almost in final approach just to fuck with you. And your D-side partner will almost always fuck up your strips.
>>2078226>Every dude says that and yet the union logbook ain't organized enough for an application after your company goes under. Maybe if you get furloughed.I'm at AA, this is my third airline. My regional died and my LCC died. If I ride another one into the ground I'm quitting this career. If I get furloughed I'm working at Home Depot until they recall me.
>>2078235Cum Piss, TSA or XJT? You're right, you've got more time riding it into the ground than I do. Based Home Depot worker, for me I'd prefer the gas station corner store and then Lowes.
>have jet time but no pussy timeHow do I fix this?
>>2078257Yep, first one. The velvet air force. Then the yellow one. I doubt AA will ever go under, but if it does I think I'll just walk away from this career. If anything, we'll probably get bought by Jewnited.
>>2078274As long as my fellow anon is a anti APA guy, that's all that matters
>>2078226>ATL domicilebasically no delta employees, whether pilot, dispatcher, mechanic, or whatever else actually live in atlanta. i think most live in peachtree city which is like 32 miles from atlanta itself and is a nice safe city. i think the city was originally planned in the 60s for airport employees actually. if it's not peachtree city it's obviously marietta or some other suburb
>>2078327I know the play often is to get a house in PTC, sharpsburg, senoia or tyrone and do all your errands and shit in PTC and commute to ATL for work.
>>2078306I'm indifferent, my experience with ALPA at my last two carriers was suboptimal. Spirit MEC constantly made excuses for the company creatively interpreting the contract and pressured us into accepting a substandard CBA. When Spirit was dying, ALPA hindered people from escaping by having the DL/UA MECs cap hiring so they weren't "poaching from a distressed ALPA carrier." All of our significant grievances were delayed until they died with the carrier.The grass is always greener.>>2078328>tyronekek
'Sup /gag/. Do we have any A&P certified anons here? I enrolled into a local college's aircraft maintenance program in order to maybe, one day, obtain the certs and I want to know what the whole process is like. Specially when going through the OJT route. The college's not a Part 147 school, I can't really go to one right now, so I know I'll have to work with a shitty salary for 30 months once I'm out of college in order to actually get certified. Already read a bunch about it and even talked to an A&P (He went to a 147 though) but maybe I missed something important.
>>2078330tyrone is the dumbest name for a town but it's pretty nice nonetheless
I got a lot of TPIC from air tractors but I’m tired of ag. Not the flying just the risk and the seasonality/push mindset.Any particular airline value this experience? I’m a current CFII and I got a few hundred hours in a 55 Baron flying IFR. I have bachelors from a very good university, I’m not a hick.I am extremely opposed to sitting right seat at a regional getting bitched around by a 20something or woman.I get a lot of contradictory info. Some people say the turbine hours are king, others say ag pilots have a bad reputation. some say 121 will be a breeze, others say 135 will be better.
>>2078440>turbine hours are kingyes, BUT. You're talking fixed gear, turboprop, single seat, steam gauge, single engine TPIC doing low level. even the "best" single engine turbine, say a PC-12 or TBM, is way below the level of a King Air for TPIC time. TPIC to most people just means SkyWest CRJ-200 PIC, meanwhile there are many flavors of garbage TPIC at the bottom.>ag pilots have a bad repthis is true, but most places will give you a pass if you're not a hillbilly nor an asshole in the interviewFor anyone in the slow moving industry right now, you don't have a whole lot of options unless you're willing to sign a training contract, 121 or 135. There's always the fire fighting route btw. Unless you can get a job as PIC of a twin turboprop, like a corporate King Air job, Ameriflight/Alpine/Empire/Mountain and their contemporaries, you're gonna have to sit it out in the right seat somewhere. And even with 1k hours of twin turboprop PIC, you'll still have to sit in the right seat getting jet time if you want to break into the 121 jet world. Otherwise, the Corporate jet 91/91K world takes twin turboprop PIC time and might give you a direct Captain gig.Or I'm completely wrong, just my prognostication.
i went to oshkosh, it was awesome.
>>2078490been to airventure, it sucks (I hate camping)
>>2078440You have zero CRM experience or jet time and you want to bypass the regionals and go straight to the legacies because you have air tractor time and a degree? Am I reading this correctly? Do you have brain damage from inhaling all the poison you spray on food?
>>2078519Just remember, zero CRM experience but you're a military fighter pilot? That's fine. Zero CRM experience and you're a civilian? Untouchable.
mini tug!
>>20785676/25/26 at 8:24am so if it was one of you hi
>>2078541I can't tell if you're trolling or retarded. Good luck anon, you are in way over your head.
I just started as a regional FO at 38. I was the second oldest person in class. The third oldest a decade younger and then the rest were fresh college grads from 141 programs. I'm thinking I'll never make it to a legacy at this point and even if I do I'll never hold a base / schedule that I want.
no wonder pilots like to bully ATCs who sound young. Many of you are fucking dinosaurs.
>>2078572Everything I said is true though
>>2078575Yeah you're definitely trolling, no one would ever equate cropdusters with fighter pilots. If you're serious read into tactical CRM, formation tactics, AWACS/JTACS, SOPs etc and tell me its even remotely the same as spraying poison on boomer crops.You might be able to make it on with a shit ass carrier like Breeze/Allegiant/Avelo. You'll most likely have better luck with 135 but I can't help you there.
>>2078578Fighter pilots are cock sucking faggots. Everything in their world is pure LARP. Spend your career playing cool guy and playing stump the dummy during Stand Up. Meanwhile I personally know plenty of O-4s within 12 months of their 10 year commitment paying for their own C172 hours because they don't have enough hours for an ATP. HR and the fighter mafia will say some tool with 1200 hours of F-16 time and 300 hours of flying club Cessna time is more competitive than a guy that actually flies aircraft for a living full time. The fighter pilot was also the Snack-O so he's wearing multiple hats, right? Fuck off.Guard/Reserve fighter pilots are exempt and can do no wrong. These dudes have day jobs. I ain't the Dusty Crophopper anon btw.
Fighter pilots > military pilots > crop dusters > CFIs > all other low time jobs like survey, parachute drop etc > time builders. This is a pure skill ranking, not who'd I'd want to fly with. I'd want to fly with other part 61 CFIs since that is what I did. The rest of course are fags.
>>2078519CRM can be taught in five minutes to a reasonably intelligent person prove me wrong. the focus on CRM is flight school marketing claptrap, it’s important but it’s not complicated.9/10 pilots in America under the age of 40 would die on their first day flying a cropduster. in fact the amount of seethe and inadequacy you’d make the pipeline faggots feel is probably the biggest barrier. even most fighter guys could barely get an 802 off the ground…we know this because they keep wrecking the ones the USAF bought.single pilot ops are unfathomably based. rotors, ag, fighters etc it’s the pinnacle of this thing of ours. I don’t know why someone would want to leave crop dusting for gay 121 playground bullshit. my understanding is the money in ag is close enough.
there’s like 10-20x more fighter pilots than there are cropdusters if that tells you anything.
>>2078607Supply-demand. If the USA didn't have an enormous military-industrial complex there wouldn't be a need for so many fighter pilots. When is the last time there was an honest peer-to-peer dogfight the US was engaged in? Seems like the only thing they happens now are training crashes due to DEI hires and shoot downs by "allies" or SAMs.
>>2078604>idk why you'd leave cropdusting for 121APU, packs, air conditioning, heat, time off, gross pay, 401k contribution, lack of physical labor, not being covered in atrazine/glyphosate, bragging rights on grindr, etc
>>2078604extemely bizarre cope
>>2078599>military pilotsThose guys scare me. A C130 guy flew the jet like it had propellers and I had an apache guard guy nearly strike the wingtip on a high speed exit.
>>2078604the pinnacle of single pilot ops is Part 135 freight, otherwise shitting on CRM is based. CRM can be boiled down to "don't be an asshole" and "listen to others" because it ain't that complicated. I look forward to single pilot ops in 121 pax, hopefully they'll put the shitter in the cockpit and I can prolapse my colon into the lav while manning the radios.
>>2078623Rotards are fucking crazy. The Apache guy I flew with was also a total dickhead that had almost no grasp on reality.
A380 , 747
>>2078442>>2078572I’ll assume you’re not this insufferable irl and this is just how your are on an anonymous online forum…. You need multi turbine time. You are not making it to a legacy with SE turbine time in this market. Suck it up at the regionals or do 135 freight, sounds like you’d be a better fit for the latter.>>2078698Agreed. Spent some time in a crew house with a former Apache guy. 100% undiagnosed sociopath or some severe PTSD. Was grounded for shooting at civilians in the Middle East.
>>2078794>shooting at civilians in the Middle East.unfathomably based

commercial training and studying has been the most boring part of this shit so far and Im almost at 250 and have been slacking because I burned out a little bit. Can someone provide me some inspiration

>any advice for current pilot conditions in Canada? Any work recommendations, or avoid 'these' jobs? Whats the market look like now for new pilots, is it hard to find work? How about work-life balance, what are the options/typical schedules?Hey anon, I have a question for ((you)). I'm considering a life in aviation as a pilot, I really enjoy flight training, study and actual stick and rudder skills. It's just that, I'm not sure what the work-life balance is like and it's throwing me off. Like I think about when I have kids, what kind of parent will I be to as a pilot? I don't particularly want my kids to describe me as 'absent', you dig? My loose plan is CFI -> whatever the fuck turbine job I can get, but really I can't guess how work conditions for a newer pilot would influence how often I would be at home you know? Anon, I want to fly airplanes, just like ((you))! I'm just a bit of a pussy because I love my babies and want them to grow up with me in their life. What do you think? Is it worth it right now to become a pilot in Canada, or is it super fuck off competitive and hard to get ahead now anyways? I'm not super interested in airlines desu, does that make things better or worse? >thank you for reading and responding anon, I wish you happiness, luck, and sucess in the future
>>2078794who tf are you replying to? Both those posts agree with you>>2078927The most important part of your CPL checkride is understand what you can and can't do with your CPL and why. The single chapter in the ASA oral prep for CPL thats about Holding Out and all that other commercial shit is a gold mine. The rest of the book straight up doesn't matter.

lolit just keeps happening!

>>2075151I made a set of lighted marshalling wands for myself. i work at an airport and i was fed up with the wands always being hard to find or dead/broke. the leds are red not purple
>>2079195Extremely based actually
>>2079195Oh, interesting. How did you make them?
>>2079195Fucking based. Glad to see a white man who actually cares about his job. I hate when I pull into the gate and the diverse marshallers aren't even looking at the wingtips.
Wooow so beautiful
>>2075167the germans recently triangulated some meowing faggots here, crew had a meeting at the HQ.guy just told them "okay, sit down and do what you did there." and had them "meow".i like that approach, shows them what retarded fucks they are.
>>2079198>>2079203>>2079202thanks guys. I have a little lathe here's some pics I posted on /diy/

>>2079219around $120
>>2077098my CFI is a total redditor and its annoying as fuck
>>2079237That sucks. I had a fat alcoholic. First solo felt like a rocketship launching into the pattern.
>>2079241Kek. Mine is literally like 120lbs or something. Which is good because we can fly the underpowered vintage planes even on hot days. Kid needs to eat more börgar though.
>>2075151Cupcake or trashbin?
What do you think my chances are at getting a fighter pilot slot in the USAF like the F35 with 750~ TT, IR, CPL, Multi, CFI/CFII, A&P certified at 28? I would like to fly a jet like that, but I am not sure I want to join the military to do that, but I dont know of another way I could achive such a goal.
>>2079264nothing is impossible. if something is humanly possible, consider it within your grasp.
>>2079264If you want a guaranteed slot, rush a Reserve/Guard unit with an aircraft you’re willing to fly. You’ll need AFOQT and TBAS scores as well, these can be a pain in the ass to accomplish. Bogidope has the most information on the process and polishing your resume and interview skills. Their sister site MilRecruiter has a map of every squadron for the guard/res, keep clicking until you find the map without a bullshit pay to view subscription. For current hiring, click the maps “hiring UPT” box. USAF bullshit , especially hiring, is some of the most faggy cocksucking you’ll put up with, but remember that UPT slots have an age limit (33 I think) so get on it asap if you’re serious. AFOQT and TBAS/PCSM is where you ideally start.
>>2079271Thank you, that was very informative. I saw a few F-16 squadrons that would be interesting, but I wouldnt meet the UPT deadline with not enough time to complete the testing. I will have to plan and do those first and then see what would be available then or maybe next year.Thank you.
>>2079264low, zogpilot slots have been overfilled due to build up for another sand nigger kike war. if it goes hot, maybe, but for now there is a massive surplus of fighter pilots.
Which Legacy decided to hire FO Pilot Ava Belle?
that cropduster pilot looking to fly jets pulls more G's in a day than a USAF fighter pilot pulls in a year
>>2079325What is it like being a cropduster pilot anyways? Like how is the schedule, what kind of hours, what kind of money, is it seasonal, all that sort of thing. It sounds pretty cool on the surface.
>>2079297bro! we mean to talk transportation
If you’re doing a VFR practice approach at a class D should you request flight following and practice approaches from TRACON or just say you’re on a 10 mile straight in and just talk to tower but not mention it’s a practice approach? I don’t feel like switching back and forth with center/tracon and tower at a dead class D. I’ve done it both ways without issue but I feel like tower is gonna call me out one of these days like “I know you’re doing a practice approach, you should’ve contacted approach”. But do they even talk to each other like that for VFR practice approaches? I feel like they usually just hand you off to tower anyways and just say “tell tower what you’re doing”
>>2079490VFR practice approaches are handled the same way IFR approaches are, you are just a lower priority and are under VFR flight rules. Under VFR you can also do a practice approach into an airport without saying you are doing so and would still follow ATC directions as normal, but dont expect ATC or approach to be accommodating to you. You may be given instructions that dont follow what you would like to do, so its better just to tell them from the start what you would like to do. Whats the objective here? Are you just trying to fly the same approach, do the published missed and then fly the approach again on repeat? You would have to switch between approach and tower as appropriate.Usually what I do for new IFR students is fly IFR approachs into a class E airport without talking to tower much, then once more experience have them talk to approach for everything as much as possible. Thats the point of flying IFR anyways so why cut out ATC?
