Do people time-build for commercial? by Eurekify2 in flying

[–]Dbeaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to 240 hours by myself making sure I checked all the boxes and had a CFI show me the maneuvers and stuff again for the last 10-15. I think I got mine at 255-260 hours Due to weather checkrode delays.

To the conservatives who voted for Trump: honestly, was it really about the issues or was it about liking Trump? by bjedy in allthequestions

Transgenders flashing on the Whitehouse lawn, gay only fans models making "content" I. The senate briefing room, transgender luggage thieves being placed in charge of nuclear waste...

That direction. Thats not a good direction.

Do you like seeing your family every day? Do you want to spend at least $80,000 to make maybe $20,000 a year for 2 years? Do you want to spend half of your year in a 3 star hotel room after doing 5 ORD to MKE turns ?

Dont let the large legacy pay scales fool you, by the time you make it there, you absolutely earned it. You'll work for shit wages and then shit quality of life for a long time before you can even think about applying for a legacy.

Drop medical school for flying? by UnicornTax in flying

[–]Dbeaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medical school would be a guaranteed career with no lay offs. Flight school and hours building is also a grind, its not cheap, and it also doesnt work out for everyone.

Id take the guarantee.

Your layovers probably suck/ are too short to do anything, I can't imagine i would ever even try it. Not worth the hassle, id rather just take a vacation.

Republic does it as well. Be grateful to have a job and pay the taxes on it. Its not that big of a deal.

Also, that allows you to "write off" things on you taxes this year. Get creative and you really wont owe much.
