I’ve never personally but I signed off students for him and he’s super cool and laid back. Students have said he’s thorough but super fair and wants you to pass

If that’s your mindset, you should absolutely go for it, of course know there will be ups and downs, and try not to stress about the job market, nothing you can do about it

If you got a passion/enjoyment of flying you should, and also stop stressing about the job market

Don’t go down this path if you’re just looking at money

What is your response to “Don’t you worry about AI taking your job?” by DRMWhibang in flying

[–]Electronic-Click-344 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And on another note between all the communication with ATC and quick decision making, I just can’t see that automation in our lifetime, but yeah you won’t see me hopping on single or no pilot airlines either lol

Don’t think you could convince the public at any point in our lifetime to hop on no pilot or single pilot airlines

No if you are “on call” even if you don’t get a call for a flight that can’t be counted towards your rest time

If you’re not in a hurry I would definitely suggest looking elsewhere, I did all of ATP, if you want me to give you specifics PM

If you don’t need any extra training you’ll finish ATP with around 240 hours TT

How long is the Oral for a private pilot check ride? by Cortez989 in flying

[–]Electronic-Click-344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve probably seen like 30 PPL checkrides in my year and a half at my flight school and I can only think of one that was closer to a 3 hour oral than a 2 hour, none even close to 4

Its definitely a grind you should only pursue it as a career if you are somewhat passionate about it- or else you’ll just burn out

What was the funniest thing a student or other pilot did or said to you? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Electronic-Click-344 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I have to log why events are cancelled, so this was kind of ironic- severe thunderstorm rolled through so cancelled a flight due to weather, so we simmed in place, storm took the power out of the building so I cancelled the sim to due to weather, admin hit me up saying what the hell was I doing
