In traditional thinking that just means she doesn’t want to be used and drug along. It’s only fair to her to fish or cut bait.

Stranger things have happened.

Here's something that just came across my feed: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7183873330658054144/ Personally, I'd try to zoom forward to when you might be 70 or 80 and ask yourself who will remember you, and for what. The best airline pilot out there is going to be...

Volume of sales versus cost of install, regulatory hoops, etc.

It honestly does sound like he may be a problem, and that you might need to set a hard boundary with him.

Social media amplifies EVERYTHING.

Your analogy breaks down, though. A stunt pilot flying for the movie absolutely should do all the prefight steps. If an actor is using a dummy gun, then fine, cut him some slack, but if you're using the real thing, in this case a gun that doesn't just fire blanks, or in the aviation sense...

I HOPE you sump your fuel before flight. You may not be a line service guy, or knowledgable about fuel, but there are bare minimums that should be expected of you, and of anyone handling a REAL gun.

Seriously? You’re being way too generous. For someone to be a good actor I expect them to know a thing or two about their subject material and how to use the tools, and how to make it look realistic and that most certainly includes if you’re gonna use a real gun, you better know how to use it safely.

I don’t disagree with the last post, a healthy sense of fear is good, but there also must be a certain amount of fulfillment if you’re doing it long-term. I’ve had at least one student that I suspected just wanted to check it off as an accomplishment, and didn’t seem to have the need to fly...

Don’t fly to please other people. If it’s not your thing, it’s OK to accept that and move on to something else that you’re more passionate about.

Yeah, I also have insurance with Parker and highly recommend. He isn’t just an insurance guy. He’s also a pilot and a flight instructor and passionate about aviation.

Even if you know it’s going to happen because you can’t get the gear down it’s still a long 17 inches!

I’m not seeing the difference between that and most things I have tried to get done in the US these days… we are our own worst enemy.

Tell us how you got your callsign. Did your instructor give it to you?
