Just something satisfying about filling up another logbook.

I'm kinda a geek with my logbooks, so I have 3 different logbooks going right now...4 if you count my small logbook that is just used to transfer into my master book. I keep my GA flying separate because I only update my airline logbook every 3 or 4 months and my OCD hates the dates being out of...

Training/Recurrent, Currency/Consistent flying and SOPs. All of these are huge! Between the Airline, Guard and GA, I fly somewhere between 600 and 800 hours a year. Even with all that flying, if I go more than a couple weeks without flying, I feel rusty. I can't even imagine going months...

Pilot spot in the Marines? Last I heard is that if you eat less than 2 crayons they'll let you be a fighter guy. Eating more than 2 crayons means you're stuck in helos.

Dress metro and wear plenty of hair gel... I've sat on our (ANG F-16) interview boards for the last 5 or 6 years. I'm not sure how other squadrons view it, but we only require you to have soloed. After that, we don't really care much about hours as hours can be an asset or a hinderance. I...

This! They touch on this in the Netflix series about Aaron Hernandez.

Yup, based on my conversation with the ASI, I meet the mins for both A and P. Hopefully I'll be able to get to the FSDO after all this mess is over. Pretty much echos what I had heard elsewhere. When the virus is over I plan to start volunteering at a local air museum and start helping a guy...

Gents, I'm looking at getting my A&P. Don't really plan to use it for employment, but more for my own plane ownership and/or restoration type stuff. My time in the AF (as an APG/Crew Chief) is enough for me to try to convince an FAA guy to give me signoffs to go to a place like Bakers and get...

Great debrief. Dude had lots going on in a short amount time.

So new relief yet on CFI renewal? I usually just swing by the FSDO on my way from one of my airline trips. Now that my plane isn't really flying and the FSDOs are pretty much closed, that's not really an option. Don't mind paying $26 to American Flyers to process it for me, just wondering if...

I had two speeding tickets within the two years (none before) leading up to being interviewed/hired by two Legacies. It was never brought up in one of the interviews, the other just asked if there were any more to list. I couldn't remember all the info on one of them so I just listed the year...

Jokes aside....I hope we never allow phone conversations during the flight. It's bad enough that we have to listen to LOUD phone conversations while in the terminal. Thankfully, our current CEO is fully onboard with never allowing it...let's hope the rest of the airlines hold he line on that...

Sure they do, we've even taken some seats back out to give more space. The real issue is most people are just unwilling to pay the price for comfort they want.

I see abuse of this crap all the time and sure hope this gets passed. My favorite was the guy who got off the plane with two, yes two pitbulls that he could barely control. I'm certain he couldn't go on without his dogs... :rolleyes: I have nothing wrong with service animals, but these...

Absolutely, and they have/will. I just don't agree with our sue happy society. Think of how much money we spend because of the fear/threat of lawsuits. People will sue over the anything because they know most companies will settle out of court because it's just cheaper. The people will get a...

Surprised it took so long. Everyone looking for a quick buck. Those rashes must have been really traumatizing...:rolleyes:

Congrats and welcome! I'd vote for the 320...makes the transition to 330 much easier later on. :D That said, I certainly understand wanting to fly with your dad.

This is one of big downsides to the aviation world. Very few jobs can we just leave and expect to get the same level of benefit.

Same...all of it. Just replace Eagles with Vipers (not the car Evil! :D).

I buy that. I guess my history of having jobs where everyone can easily figure it out has desensitized me to it all and keeps me fairly ignorant to how things work in non-union corporate America. There is also general mistrust, for good reason, between the workers and management in my industry.
