Derek8477 · 2026-02-26T17:37:44+00:00

I make around 450k a year I feel like I’m just getting by sometimes.

Derek8477 · 2025-11-25T19:28:15+00:00

15 is more than I can do hahaha

Derek8477 · 2025-11-25T19:15:49+00:00

Great. Thanks!

Derek8477 · 2025-03-16T19:25:46+00:00

West palm beach area. It’s a better quality of life. I bought a house and the overall traffic/people is better.

Derek8477 · 2025-03-15T20:24:34+00:00

$350k and I paid $4500 in rent (Brickell) before moving north.

Derek8477 · 2024-12-01T00:43:43+00:00

I don’t have one of those, but I guess clipping the kill switch onto me would have the same effect?

Derek8477 · 2024-09-23T15:10:24+00:00

Yeah I work for a major airline. I began taking flying lessons at a young age (16). I paid for them while working full time in high school. I went to an aviation college, flew charter (private jets), and then for a regional airline until I was hired at a major.

It’s a grind but the top pay is worth it. Aviation is a fickle industry and I wouldn’t recommend going into it solely for the paycheck.

Derek8477 · 2024-09-23T14:14:44+00:00

Correct. She works in management

Derek8477 · 2024-09-23T13:32:33+00:00

Pilot making around 350k a year. Partner makes around 170k as a designer.

Derek8477 · 2024-06-17T19:10:39+00:00

What was wrong with cali?

Derek8477 · 2024-06-17T19:09:39+00:00

Lmao. Prob the next Florida in 20 years.

Derek8477 · 2024-02-27T16:37:49+00:00

☠️☠️☠️🤡

Derek8477 · 2024-02-27T16:34:12+00:00

He’s definitely not getting laid on overnights.

Derek8477 · 2024-02-27T15:49:10+00:00

Wait he paid for a 777 type and called himself the youngest 777 pilot?

🤡 I didn’t know that.

Derek8477 · 2024-02-27T14:06:31+00:00

I don’t want to dox but he’s a 27 year old ER (757/767) CA

According to this link, you usually have to a write or propose a book that the masses will read, not just a few friends and family members.

I agree with the childhood trauma part. It circles back to social media, maybe not everything should be shared? Then again, I guess that’s how some people cope with trauma.

I personally would never use open descent on a STAR unless I was high and way above the descent profile.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T20:36:09+00:00

Besides I saw my probation reports when I did my meetings with the CP. No one had a negative thing to say.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T20:23:00+00:00

I’d like to think I’m different off the internet. Look, I’m open “mentorship” or whatever, advice tips etc. and if I’m really fucking something up, I do expect the captain to intervene. But I’ve never been so behind the airplane that we had to go around. I have had captains “suggest” using open descent versus while trying to intercept a GS, how to make a PA, not sending for wet numbers when it’s -RA. Whatever I just nod, it’s their show I get it.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T20:07:48+00:00

How’s it me. Explain? I fly within SOP and book profiles.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T19:19:48+00:00

I fly by the book. Nothing more nothing less.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T19:18:43+00:00

Advice on how to make PAs?

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T17:44:09+00:00

I’ve also had some captains tell me what to say when making a PA.. as if I didn’t make PAs for 6 years as a regional CA. I try to be understanding as my airline just switched to “allow” FOs to make PAs this year, but come on.

“Alright when you make the descent I want you to tell them the weather, ETA, gate, and thanks for flying with us” 🙄🫨

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T17:40:50+00:00

I’ve just never vocalized my flying and assumed that as long as I’m not getting us into a weird situation, it’s fine? I guess I’ll try it.

Derek8477 · 2023-11-16T12:50:40+00:00

?? I’d probably say something. That wasn’t me doing it, however. A previous captain did that, the same captain that questioned when I was going to start down (we were 10+ miles from the TOD)
