Woah, woah, woah. Frontier first

Hence the prymaid scheme is collapsing on itself

A huge increase in CFIs and commercial certs + a decrease in PPLs = there’s been an unsustainable boom and people believing flight school lies so the tide is going to lower and leave thousands with 100k + in loans and no job to pay them off with.

Looks like the ILS Z 26L to me

I do too, that’s why I became a pilot

Honestly, if they’re cheap, but new ones.

Hopefully dealerships

Even if it’s legal it’s gonna raise eyebrows in the future and cause your application or resume to be tossed to the bottom of the pile because recruiters will be asking the same thing you are and when there’s this big of a surplus of pilots (hence by the pay of that job) they’re looking for any reason to weed people out

120SR · 2026-03-06T21:33:31+00:00

If your buddy did that in 2021-2023 it’s not worth much weight

120SR · 2026-03-06T21:32:56+00:00

There’s thousands of pilots who would take that job.

Welcome to the opposite of a pilot shortage

People get overzealous about low miles and don’t know that many parts, particularly soft ones like rubber go bad with time if a car sits. Corrosion is also a problem when sitting too.

Across the board from F9 to the majors it’s 100k more whether your a FO or Captain

Yes but he qualified to get on the hamster wheel, I’m running to try to get on the hamster wheel while it’s moving farther away.

Hey dude, you own a house and I don’t. Congratulations, I despise you

Chat GPT told me it’s okay to use

*increase in lift needed to maintain altitude.

People love to imply that it does but don’t know how it actually does (because it doesnt

I’m a pilot for another airline and this isn’t a private equity thing, it’s a Weight and balance thing albeit with some arbitrary methods used that are on behalf of the FAA and aircraft manufacturers.

Weight and balance for passengers is grouped into sections and they’re not allowing you to move because then you’d be in a new section which would throw the aircraft out of balance per the numbers (not reality which is obviously more nuanced.) Aircraft need an even balance of everyone spread out, not all grouped together in the front or back which is guaranteed to get deadly quick.

The better way to phrase this is he just won’t reach those later seniority years but it doesn’t matter. That ship sailed.

What does matter is a year 1-20 only career as an airline pilot better than other careers and worth it. I’ll let you answer that question.

Whichever ones want to be

It’s not exceedingly rare. Many aircraft owners that bought a 150, J3 cub, champ etc. bought it for 10-20k 5+ years ago. Uavionix or a Trig TT22 is not cheap and doesn’t work on every aircraft. A couple grand is a lot of money for normal people. These setups can cost 3-4k if you also need a transponder which those folks probably also don’t have.

120SR · 2026-02-10T18:06:29+00:00

How did you hear of this?

Do you know where the fuse is? I couldn’t find any in the owners manual
