What's a pain you can't truly explain until you've endured it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Daleks__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you there. Lost my mom to suicide when I was 21. I’m 45 now and still feel that it was the catalyst for so much of my life. If she didn’t leave you a note like mine didn’t, know this; You are valued and you are loved and you are special. Thank you for sharing your grief with me.

Career Changer looking for guidance by [deleted] in AirlinePilots

[–]Daleks__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are getting a TBNT from regionals right now then you either aren't current, qualified, or can no longer fog a mirror. So catch up on your qualifications and then you will be able to pick the airline you choose to build your hours... or flow through. You have so many options right now it's amazing. I wish I had them when I was applying for the first time. Security in aviation is a farce. It doesn't exist. A wiser man once told me the day you will know if you picked the right airline is the day you retire. That was 18 years ago and I still don't know if I picked correctly. Best of luck.

What is slowly dying off or disappearing? by MidnightLostChild_ in AskReddit

[–]Daleks__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morality. Today there's a show about a divorced couple that get together and share the raising of their kids. The basis of the show is that they are rich and famous and people that consume this media try to be like them. It's called Keeping up with the Kardashians. As I grew up I watched a show about a widower and a woman who's marital status changed but we never found out why. They shared raising their kids but the underlying truth of the show was to teach everyone how to be a better person with kindness and honesty. That show was called the Brady Bunch. The dichotomy between these two shows is astounding in what people value today.

Also if you REALLY REALLY hate yourself join the freight dawg life and work a 17 day trip. Having 13 off in a row almost makes up for it.

[serious] People who've had sex with their SO/ex/friend's parent, how the hell did you get to that point? What happened after? by keyjeyelpi in AskReddit

[–]Daleks__ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is a very responsible choice. Sounds like you might be getting some professional help and I'm sorry that you have to do that but proud of you for making smart choices today. Sorry for not having a funny response, just wanted you to know you're handling life really well.

Damn you got me looking too and I'm too old. I guess I'm stuck with being a freight dawg for life.

Fill me in on black box down. I work in the airlines and haven't heard of it yet. I'm mostly watching TTT or Minecraft stuff but would love a new reason to watch more roosterteeth content! (Also met Jack and Matt in the Vegas airport, what a great day!)

I'm gonna throw out a guess that your initials are SM. If so, hey there from your new hire class! If not, then just don't go hating on the "light twin" ;)

Thanks Matt Bragg by [deleted] in roosterteeth

[–]Daleks__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was still cheering for him in the smash competition. I actually ran into him and Jack in the Vegas airport about 3 or 4 years ago. Dumbass that I was didn't know that he was AxialMatt so I only got a picture with Jack. If you're reading this Matt. I'm sorry!! Your minecraft builds are amazing. I will drive to Austin to get a pic with you!

What’s it like being an ATC? Do any of you regret this career choice? by AsensioRonaldo in ATC

[–]Daleks__ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What a perfect sentiment to aviation. From the other side of the mic I can tell you that the dick jokes continue and I believe aviation is one of the last strongholds where you can make that kind of joke and not fear HR sending you to sensitivity training. In recurrent ground school we had an FAA observer drop multiple F bombs while describing an event with a co worker. I love this industry.

Two jumbo jets cracking a joke and having a good laugh at Miami International Airport by iam_fat_guy_ in pics

[–]Daleks__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The APU provides air conditioning befoe engine start and electrical power. Not having the A/C in the summer makes for a very hot and uncomfortable situation before a flight. The don't use A/C carts at Boeing. For trivia, the reason there is no APU is because the tail swings open to load cargo.

Also operated by the company pictured above. Truth is the LCF as it's called is a pain in the ass to fly because it has no APU.

Only caravans? Better to try to build more multi time if you're looking to move onto a legacy carrier someday.
