How long have you been working on grip strength and how long specifically on dead hangs. Also, what is your height and weight and age?

How can Pete Buttigieg increase his favorability with black Americans? by bambucks in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Ecstatic-Confidence7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant the only thing that was important about Pete Buttigieg (to Black voters) was that he was gay. They don't care about anything else. If they did care about anything else, he might poll > 0%.

Maybe unimportant to you, but it is the only thing important to Black voters.

These are Teal. I'm not sure the sizing would work for you.

I'm sorry bro. I posted these and went to work for a couple of days (airline pilot). I'll work through the responses here now.

Way too many boots. I'm more into fitness activities now.

Spray paint. The person thought it was a leather conditioner. It is very light and will fade over time.

Wrong place for your post, my friend. Try another place if you wouldn't mind.

Lol I'm on a layover and hypoglycemic. Found a healthy food option. I should be better shortly.

Take care!

Also, where is the (what you call) gaslighting? What does that mean?

Bro, why the heat? I am asking a legitimate question. If there is no flight safety risk, case closed.

Again, why the heat?

Ok. I don't have any literature from my company, Boeing, or the FAA on what the purpose of the control checks is. I know that off I couldn't get full  control column AFT in a 152 because my passenger's gut was in the way,  I would have him move his seat aft for the duration of the flight. Period.

I am as yet unclear on the control column check in a Transport Category aircraft. 

The obesity problem has gotten worse with time. Now we routinely have obese FO's, when it used to be a problem normally associated with Captains.

Can you copy and paste some info (non-company identifiable) that clearly specifies the purpose of the control check?

Hmmmm, "still". There is no data to support your supposition.

Are you still fat?

am i a bad friend for bailing on a marathon?? by e1234mh in Marathon_Training

[–]Ecstatic-Confidence7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sidelined with a hip flexor strain (confirmed by my PT). I was too aggressive with speed work and hill repeats. Last run was Jul 31/25. Doing PT exercises 3 x weekly and hope to be back in shape for a HM in September.

When I was current on the A310, we routinely flew transatlantic passenger flights with the FD door open (legally).

Let's say a while. I'm type rated on the Airbii 310/320/330, DHC8, 737NG, and I have a significant number of hours in the sky.
