    Divorce, house, etc (not me) (non aviation)

    It most frequently happens after marriage with a pre-existing house one person owned partially or in its entirety. There generally isn't many good reasons to add the spouse to the title, unless there's a refinance event or sale/purchase. However, there's no indication in the OP's post that...

    Best time for a Touch n Go at ATL?

    It's been done in Ohare: In Seattle, they'll do "cleared for the option". No touchdown = no landing fee as the fee is paid to the Port and the airspace is a federal matter. You now have plausible deniability the wheels touched and whoever does the job or reviewing the tapes to send out the...

    Divorce, house, etc (not me) (non aviation)

    Keep in mind nowhere in here did she really indicate they owned the house together. They "had" it together (could be lived in it together). It is very not-normal for a married person to not have both people on the deed. Many mortgage companies won't even allow it. It could have predated the...

    Divorce, house, etc (not me) (non aviation)

    You really need a lawyer. The house will depend on whether it was paid for with pre-martial money or not. If the husband owned the house before marriage and had it paid in full, it could be deemed pre-martial property. If it was paid for during marriage, typically the portion that was is...

    Heartbroken student

    Pm me. I'm in Seattle, I manage engineers, and I will buy you lunch. I'm not a CFI, but I will get you back on your feet (or wings, so to speak). The pilot community is too small, there's no reason to loose another.

    Step up from NA 182 to P210?

    This is a mission for a Bonanza A36... preferably one with a TN engine and optionally, de-ice capabilities. If your baggage and cargo were less, I'd say cirrus.

    Salary Talk

    Counters are bad. I've had recruits who declined my offers due to a counter-offer, and if they are interesting to us, we will often call them back 6-12 months later and ask how things are going and if they'd like us to re-extend their offer. When people look, in most cases it's not for money...

    Valuation different between 182P with o470 vs o550?

    I'm trying to get swagger on that it's proving elusive. I'm guessing the difference is 20k, assuming you have an airframe with a run out propeller and motor. The reality is, it's probably more.

    Valuation different between 182P with o470 vs o550?

    I'm trying to get a swagger on what type of valuation differences you see in the resale market for mid-upper range mid-70s 182Ps based on having a freshly rebuilt o-470 low time engine and having the same in a freshly rebuilt o-550 tx skyways conversion. Does anyone have any experience or data...

    Guess who closed the airport today?

    I'm sure the go-around costs for the jets would have bought a lifetime supply of wheels and tires. However, the world doesn't work that way. It's like avoiding a small fender-bender accident in ice at an intersection where someone else is clearly at fault, you can avoid it, but you clearly...

    Flying for Work - Liability

    I've heard many folks and nowadays it's almost impossible to find the exact reason for their dismissal so if there's no criminal or civil history behind it its almost impossible. confirming dates of employment and salary history and not much more has become the norm.

    Flying for Work - Liability

    tell that to his wife when the estate sues the company for his death. the risk is still there in a car don't get me wrong but it's less nonetheless I did mention that because passengers are often a mitigating factor for employers that do approve such flights

    Flying for Work - Liability

    Joking aside, How much do you care about the job? Are you in an industry where you could replace it in 5 days for equivalent pay? Seriously, not the tongue in cheek response... but realize some of the advice here might get you sacked if caught. On the other hand, you might not care if...

    Discussing GA Risk with Family / Friends

    While this is true, they are not all single vehicle accidents... I don't know about cars, but today on bikes 50% of fatals are rider error, and the alcohol present rate is somewhere around 10-25% Much lower than a couple decades ago.

    N/A 1988 Dodge Dakota rear end making noise.

    It would probably be worth buying one for $500 and just driving the newly purchased truck and using your old one as a donor... This is a 88 dodge dakota we're talking about.

    N/A 1988 Dodge Dakota rear end making noise.

    They are cheap. Junkyard swap. It's not a easy garage thing unless you have the tools or some buddies to help you hold it up. However, it shouldn't be to expensive. It is not worth "fixing" by repairing the existing rear end given the availability of junkyard parts, and the specialized...

    Discussing GA Risk with Family / Friends

    Suicide is a huge problem. It's a "hidden" disease, nobody talks about it. Did you know we lost more soldiers due to mental illness/suicide than any enemy action during the recent wars in the middle east? Most people do not understand the scope of the problem.

    Discussing GA Risk with Family / Friends

    Quantify it. Statistics are fine. Relative statistics are easily understood. Media is a wreck, they sensationalize things. Most certified single engine GA falls in this category: It's as risky as a motorcycle, skydiving, and similar to many types of pleasure boating. It's twice as...

    Flying Your Aircraft for Business Purpose as an Employee of a Business

    I'm no expert, so take internet advice for what it's worth. I've been googling and can't find it, but it was an article by a CPA. Bottom line was if the trip was otherwise justified -- the finding was "an arms length" FBO rental rate for an aircraft met the general requirement for proving...
