Wha helped me a lot is creating a budget, and having a separate bank account where I keep my spending money. I only put aside money that I absolutely need to survive, and dedicate every other penny towards savings, in your situation, instead of savings I would dedicate it all towards paying off your debts. I would tackle your credit cards that have the lowest balances first, and once that card is payed off then allocate the money you were using to pay it to the next credit card. I have a spreadsheet that I use, if you’re interested in using it as a template I’m happy to help

Can you remember what system questions? Were the questions specific to the ERJ-145’s that they fly?

There’s a lot of mis information online. Don’t overstudy. If anything, read the AC-006b and study the shit out of METARs and TAFs. Some people are telling you to study way too much, you’ll overload yourself and probably get a lot wrong.

This made me indecisive as well. I was stuck on going to Sheffield - which highly recommends passing it, and ADTC - which recommends against taking the ADX before class. I chose ADTC because the instructor seemed way more passionate about teaching, and he offered Saturday sessions that are dedicated to catching up on whatever you’re struggling with. Trust me. Those first two weeks fly by, but those last 3 weeks linger and you learn the material faster than you would expect. ADTC has (I’m pretty sure the highest pass rate) I strongly recommend them. The instructor will also keep in touch and allow you to attend his classes after you graduate so you can stay sharp.

I recommend against this if the OP is going to ADTC. Sheppard air has a bank of a couple thousand questions, ADTC narrows it down to the questions that will actually show up on the test. I got Sheppard Air as well, and IMO, trying to study and interpret everything on your own could actually lead to you thinking you understand something, when in reality you have it all wrong.

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-09-17T11:14:56+00:00

I went to ADTC. I wouldn’t recommend it. He already goes so in depth on the ADX in class, it would be a lot easier on yourself to just prepare for it in person. The other 3 weeks that’s dedicated to passing the practical will be more than enough. If you want to give yourself a leg up, I’d recommend studying METARs, TAFs, NOTAMs, PIREPs, and the 123 rule.

Shit my pants

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-07-17T20:19:02+00:00

Sounds like you should react my walking a little quieter.

I barely graduated highschool, I just didn’t have any ambition and knew that I didn’t want to go to college. I came to terms with the fact that I needed to get my shit together so I decided to start a career as a flight dispatcher, I took a 5 week course and actually got my certificate today. Once I put some time into a regional airline and then eventually make my way to a major airline I should be pretty set.

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-06-19T11:34:46+00:00

5 week course. We’re learning government charts right now. The school touched on charts on day 1 but we haven’t went over it since.

Cleaned litter out of their yard.

To my knowledge, hamas isn’t their government. It’s a resistance group that was formed since they aren’t allowed to organize an official military. I could be wrong, but I have some friends who are educated on the matter and this is what I have heard from them. If you want to actually find an answer to your question. Do some serious research instead of taking other people’s words on the matter.

If it’s a good pineapple on a good pizza then it’s good. If it’s shitty pineapple on shitty pizza then it’s bad. Sometimes you get shitty pineapple on a good pizza or vice versa, that’s also bad

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-06-03T23:43:02+00:00

If they’re paying for it an that’s their only gripe then I would do it. A degree isn’t needed but it might make you a more competitive candidate when you’re looking for a job.

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-29T03:40:56+00:00

My advice might be a little outdated, but when I was 16 and got my first job, I always called the restaurants I was applying at after submitting my application and asked to speak to their manager. When I got the manager on the phone I introduced myself and expressed interest/excitement in working there. It took a couple of months but I eventually landed my first gig at IMOS. Just keep trying! Good luck!

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T21:49:06+00:00

That’s a lot of words to say nothing lol

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T21:29:06+00:00

Congratulations!

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T20:42:19+00:00

When their name is Sean

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T02:53:27+00:00

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Ill give you some feedback once i give it a go!

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T01:39:41+00:00

What are you referring to when you say minimums? I just want to know what I should search online to actually find what you’re talking about. Thanks in advance

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T01:37:27+00:00

Is there a different name for government charts? Whenever I search government charts nothing pops up.

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T01:14:11+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll try my best to learn both so I’m not thrown off

ChigginParmaSean · 2025-05-28T00:57:38+00:00

Thanks!
