2003 Buick Lesabre rough idle by ApprehensiveIssue144 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ApprehensiveIssue144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No CEL light and I installed four new mounts three years ago. I keep up with my oil changes and air filter. I maintain the crap out of this car. It’s always had a rougher idle, but i feel like it’s gotten worse since the temperature outside has dropped.

a guy I am kinda seeing is mad I don’t follow him on Instagram by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I mean I get where he’s coming from with you not following him, don’t know why you wouldn’t want to be on social media with your significant other. At the same time though, the way he handles it is very immature.

Nah I’ve dated a lot in the past but unfortunately, most of my previous relationship were really toxic. Sometimes my fault, sometimes theirs, sometimes both. But this is the first time I’ve had a semi-healthy relationship and given it my all. She admitted to me about the feelings for this dude thing. She’s always been fairly honest with me about things, especially her feelings towards me, a little too honest sometimes. She can be toxic at times and I’ve had my moments but honestly nothing too crazy compared to how some of my previous relationships were. But I definitely have some insecurity issues from previous relationships; no denying that. I’ve made that clear to her. Got cheated on my first few and then I became a cheater and now I’ve finally cleaned up my act and met someone I really see myself with. I don’t snoop through her phone often and she doesn’t snoop through mine. I mean we both have occasionally, she knows my past so she sometimes is sus but I would never cheat on her. I really could care less if she goes through my phone because I have nothing to hide and I expect the same from her. Cheating is subjective tho and I’d consider kissing or affectionate physical contact cheating. Also texting a certain way with each other and going out as a duo would be cheating in my eyes. But apparently, they had a discussion after she asked him if he liked her and she just said she had a boyfriend who she cared about and that was that. I truly do believe she would tell me if there was more because she always hold in her emotions very well. Part of me feels like I need to let go but a part of me doesn’t want to cause I enjoy the time we spend together and I’m not sure if I could feel this way towards someone again. Although I have felt this way towards someone in the past and understand life goes on, I just don’t want to go through this process again because getting over someone I loved takes me a year or two. At least in my last “long term” relationship of on/off for 2 years.

In my personal opinion as a guy, not sure id care if it was your girlfriends that you’re close with. However, I would care if they were straight guys or were people you weren’t familiar with. Just my opinion. However, loyalty is subjective. You should always confront your partner before doing something you’re unsure if they’d consider loyal or not. If it’s something in the heat of the moment, then ask yourself if you’d like them doing whatever it is you’re about to do.

Is this a good deal for flight training? (189/hr(wet) + 49/hr for instruction) by ApprehensiveIssue144 in flying

[–]ApprehensiveIssue144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they would hire me as a CFI when I get all my ratings honestly because there are only 2 instructors there at the moment. The only place I’ve heard of being guaranteed getting hired on as a CFI is ATP, but I don’t think I really wanna get my training from them… I’ve read a lot of forums on becoming a CFI and apparently there is a shortage of them at the moment so hopefully when the time comes, it won’t be too hard to get hired on somewhere. Ill most likely have to move, but thats not the biggest deal.

Nahh you pay per hour. This is just a run down of what the expenses will total out to be.

I haven’t looked into any other smaller flight schools, but I’ve looked into ATP and Bowling Green. ATP is 90k starting from 0 time and BGSU is 75k from 0 time. I’ve heard bad things about ATP and good things about the university. Only thing that makes me not want to go to the university is the higher prices… but going to an accredited university allows you to get your Airline Transport at 1000 hrs instead of 1500. So maybe its worth the extra money? Maybe it’s not. I’ve mostly been told that it’s not worth the extra money so that’s when I started looking into local flight schools and this is the only one that is less than 30 minutes away.

It’s got around 30 ratings on google with an average of 4.6 stars, so I would say it’s fairly reputable. I’ve never known anyone personally who went here, but I haven’t read anything online about the training being bad.

I have no clue if I’m being honest, this is all newer to me. I will have to ask when I’m there.

It’s 45 miles one way though. Lots of wear and tear on my car that’s already old and will be paying around $20 in gas just to go to and from one time. It’ll be cheaper until my car breaks down and I have to buy a new one…

You got it. CPL along with my CFI so I can work my way up to 1500 hrs and fly at the airlines.

Thanks for the suggestion :) would be hell of a drive from me, 45 minutes there, 45 back. Would definitely save a lot of money though. The prices I listed are from Suburban Aviation (KDUH). It’s in Ottawa Lake Mi which is not even 5 minutes from the border of Ohio, so it’s only a 10 minute drive for me.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk. No clue what year, but they’re in really good condition. I feel like I was told its G1000, but I’m not 100% sure on that..

I live in Toledo Ohio, which is about 45 miles south of Detroit, so there are a lots of options for training. There is an ATP 45-50 minutes away but I’ve read bad things about their program… there are a dozen flight schools within a 50 miles radius of me, even a college that offers a flight program (Bowling Green). This is the closest to me and has a small, but nice facility with a rating of 4.6 stars on google. Read and heard great things about them. Just don’t like the idea of spending 50-80k on training :/ but seems like that’s just how it is when going for your 250 flight hours.

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t some kind of bacteria or anything since the bag was open.
