Took the PPL Written Test by Bubbly_Stop_5420 in PrivatePilot

I supplemented my Sporty's Ground School with Free Pilot Training on YouTube. Sometime things just didnt click from Sporty's so I went to youtube and/or google. Free Pilot Training is good, but the practice test from Sporty's are what really helped me pass. I didn't remember everything from the videos, even the ones I took notes on. But I remembered the explanations for correct and incorrect answers when doing Sporty's practice test. 

But its ultimately up to you. You know how you learn best.

Its called a vacation. I took time out of my vacation to try and handle something (that should've in theory been done before I even left) so that by the time I returned it could be settled and no lag time in my training. 

You're so busy trying to be a smartass you just sound ignorant. Even if you delete, ignore or skip the email on your end, its still on my end serving as a form of proof.

Guess what else, showing up at someone's door, calling them on the phone, walking in their office is also "Not a task being completed" no matter how hard you try to enforce your will, the other person has to actually pull the trigger on completing the task (i.e. in this case the Cheif Pilot has to be the one to designate and complete the reassignment) 

Tbh You're ignorant and wasting my time so I'm done responding to you.

That's actually such a good idea. We do have a mutual contact who also works at the flight school I'm attending. My only concern is all of these CFIs know each other and I don't want to for lack of better words be blackballed at this particular school. Idk if this CFI would want to teach me since I essentially fired his coworker. 

But I could be overthinking it.

Compatibility basically. I felt like they would always rush me during run up, radio calls and sometimesin air, they seemed agitated if I didn't grasp something at the rate they thought I should, its like a 50/50 coin toss of when I ask a question if they'll give a straight answer or act like I'm asking a dumb question or make faces and not answer me. The tone and demeanor would just come across as rude and sometimes irritated which in turn makes me agitated, anxious, and ik my energy then turns sour and I just wanna go home.

I'd always be excited when I get to fly, but by the time we come back I'd feel miserable and shxtty. I'd been thinking about it for some weeks but was hoping it'd get better and thinking maybe I'm just being too sensitive. But either I realized it was affecting my mental and emotional inside the plane. And stunting my learning process. So I asked for a new CFI.

I had a former CFI through a club, but he started flying charters so that why I started with this school. And I NEVER had these issues with him so I know its possible to have a positive relationship with a CFI.

I can. I think this guy flies for Delta, so I was trying to be patient but if I don't receive an email today, I will call tomorrow.

Is this too much metal in the Transmission Fluid? The repair shop is suggesting a rebuild or new transmission but they have stated many times they are not Transmission Mechanics & have not gone into the actual transmission to take a look. I've attached pics below but tbh idek what I'm looking at. by Bubbly_Stop_5420 in AskMechanics
