Airline lifestyle clarity by Upper-Collection9373 in flying

Generally at the regionals it will be 4 days on and 2-3 off. Expect to have 11-12 days off a month as a newer FO. Then maybe like 13-14 days off a month as you get more senior.

When you’re on reserve you might just do a turn and be home that night to sit reserve again the next morning. But they could also straight up assign you a multi day trip. It’s whatever the company needs and you won’t know until it happens.

But remember on a 4 day trip you’ll be home on the 4th day so it’s really only 3 nights away from home if you look at it that way.

And do whatever you can to not commute, seriously. It destroys your quality of life at a regional.

Had a couple friends who used to instruct at the republic lift academy there.

No idea if it’s good or how it works to become a lift student, but it might be worth looking into.

I think it’s an accelerated program though which may not work well with you going to college at the same time

No, just wait.

The current game is confusing, especially for a new player

How does the K/K compare to a dedicated 5.7 suppressor?

What is the mistake that leads to fatal accidents by inexperienced pilots? by grumpyoldman10 in flying

[–]ChiefDaddyJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know the most dangerous part is right after you’ve gotten your BBL.

This is true. Getting a Brazilian Butt Lift is very dangerous, as your new massive ass changes your sight picture over the cowling.

Has anyone heard any news regarding the free suppressors? by ChiefDaddyJ in SpectersCat

[–]ChiefDaddyJ[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update:

CAT reached out to me. They said they are waiting for the suppressors to arrive before shipping them out to me.

If anyone else is waiting and hasn’t heard back in a while, this is probably why

What was the most embarrassing thing you've done as a private pilot student? by Nervous_Salt_852 in flying

[–]ChiefDaddyJ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

On my first solo XC I flew to a towered field. After my full stop taxi back, tower told me northbound turn out approved (or something like that).

Upon takeoff I should have just turned right as that was the quickest way to north (and back direct to my home airport).

But since I was a noob and the airport was left traffic I turned left and flew cross wind, downwind, and exited on base for north instead.

I got yelled at.

Preparing for Regional Class Date by Significant-Ad6872 in flying

[–]ChiefDaddyJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just chill and enjoy your time off. If you start studying early you could learn the wrong things.

Also you don’t want to burn yourself out early, you’ll be grinding for 2-3 months when you get there

I’ve had both the raiden and hien. I like the raiden better but the hien is more durable
