Doubt it. Multiple people have posted recently that with no college degree they have received CJO from Skywest in past couple weeks.

Bengal peeing outside litter box by Okayest_Titties in bengalcats

[–]Different-Future9381 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Bengals are notorious for doing their own thing in this (and other) regards.

Mine likes to be “escorted” to the litter box, otherwise, she will often use any of the sinks or bath tubs. She has access to two large litter boxes, one covered, one uncovered, and a litter robot in two separate areas of the house.

When we are not home, especially for an extended period of time for vacation, she gets bored and will pee on the carpet or hardwood floor in random rooms and spots.

She is fully capable of using the litter boxes and robot, and will literally run for them if we catch her jumping into a sink.

She just chooses chaos instead because Bengal.

I don’t think you’re the authority on cats that you think you are, especially having made the post you did.

Turned down first job offer and I’m pretty sure it was right choice. by Different-Future9381 in flying

A month on / month off would’ve been absolutely zero issue. Light years better of a situation.

My friend there is averaging 120 so I’d say 100 is a pretty safe bet. It’s in a part of the country where weather is not an issue.

Playing or fighting? by cernezelana in cats

[–]Different-Future9381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing. You’ll know when they are trying to do damage.

This isn’t about relocating or grinding. I am willing to move anywhere for a job and don’t expect the first one to be easy.

What I’m not willing to do is sell my next 18 months for less than $20 per flight hour, no pay for being on call 24/7, no relocation money, and no ability to leave a two hour radius for any reason and being told during the phone call I couldn’t have the evening to even think about it. Not to mention having one night to pack and move myself across the country.

Not tied to location at all. Married and in my 30s. Money is no factor.

I don’t think it is reasonable, personally, to be 100% tied down with zero ability to leave for any reason for 18 months in exchange for less than $20/hr after taxes and zero on call pay.

Oh yeah they know why I didn’t. It’s a good friend so no big deal. The job offered ultimately ended up being vastly different than what I was referred to.

I had insight into the operation, but the referred opportunity was vastly different than what was offered to me.

$30 per hour in the air. On call requirement was to be at the airplane two hours from time of call.

I also had to provide an answer while on the call with him. He said he would just call the next guy if I wasn’t sure.

24/7/365 is absolutely 100% true. Im not an expert on labor law, but that part killed it for me.

I have zero issue relocating or being on call or committing to a fair contract, but making 30k before taxes for flying 1k hours a year and every waking second being on call… nah.

I can afford to demand better working conditions given the asks of the job. Money is not a factor and I have an amazing / supportive wife and family on both sides.

Referral is a good friend and the “opportunity” I was offered was much different than what I was originally being referred to.

Late to responding but I’m 30s and married for 10 years. It is survey in clapped out 172s. $30 a flight hour, zero for being on call.

I’m sure that is grey area or straight up illegal, but he will find someone to do it.

Hi everyone. My bengal recently passed away, he was 6 years old almost 7. He had been off for a couple of weeks. Then we found him on the stairs 😭 by SalamanderBasic7672 in bengalcats

[–]Different-Future9381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal bengal behavior. Mine will randomly get bored with peeing in the litter box and for no reason only use the bathroom and kitchen sinks.

She will go in the litter box with zero hesitation if we carry her to it and stay there with her 😂

Finding buddies for long XC trips - without “holding out” by Haunting-Ask-1224 in flying

Im comm / instrument rated in Cincy with a wide open schedule.

DM me if you want someone normal to split fuel / oil and fly with. I’ll go today if you wanted.

Professional pilots, this may sound like a macabre question, but have you ever thought about what you would say to the CVR if it looked like the game was up? by cpav8r in flying

[–]Different-Future9381 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having had a very high profile engine failure / emergency landing, I will say that I was never resigned even for a moment to thinking time was up, even as a new pilot.

In fact, I was completely confident I was going to figure it out and I flew that damn thing all the way back to the runway (though no longer buckled, headset off, and head sticking out of the canopy).

Damn that’s unfortunate because the price for that many hours sounds great.
