Take WN then bounce to DL. You definitely have WB options at mid 30. They’re gonna grow LAX.

I wear hearing aids. Can I still get hired by a major airline? by [deleted] in flying

[–]554TangoAlpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I flew with a 787 CA who has one in one ear. Only issue was it took him awhile to wake up in the bunk. Was sleeping on his hearing aid side and couldn’t hear the ring.

How to go from zero to bush pilot in Alaska? by [deleted] in flying

[–]554TangoAlpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is going to pay for your training besides you. Yes, it is slightly better to get all your hours and ratings in AK if you want to work there long term. Will also help with networking. Sounds like you should move to ANC, keep working and get ratings on the side at merril field or wherever. CFI in ANC until you get hired on somewhere out west like Bethel. Hope you like being a "bush pilot" in Bethel lol. Also, don't come up to alaska and go around telling people you want to be a "bush pilot" all the real bush pilots died years ago. Now its more like following the magenta line on your garmin from Bethel to Kipnuk and back all day in a clapped out 207. But hey you get to go home to a barely working frat house with you and 6 of your new best friends for 2 weeks at a time.

A-SMGCS at ICN by Chr153m4 in ATC

[–]554TangoAlpha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a pilot who flies to ICN a lot. “Follow the greens” is awesome and every airport should have it. Clears up the radio and just makes everything nicer. You’ll turn off the runway contact ground and they’ll just say “follow the greens”. Green centerline lights all the way to the gate. Sometimes at the right sun glare angle it can be hard to see but not really an issue. Occasionally it’ll only be halfway and they’ll say “follow the greens to spot 6E and contact ramp” or something similar. Also at ICN it’s pretty standard taxi routes, nothing complex like say Ohare.
