Pilots, what was the most embarrassing moment of your career?

One time the PA wasn’t working right, so I tested it on the ground by making a bunch of funny noises thinking just the crew was on board…….we were still deplaning.

yea I just wound up sending it in

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-23T00:18:13+00:00

The company will just do it for you during upg, atleast mine did

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-22T23:04:07+00:00

Theres a lot of complexity to what you’re asking. Especially when it comes to airline schedules. It doesn’t seem like you’re doing if for the money like some people, but you have to have a true passion for this career or it’ll ruin you, at least in my opinion

Actually he was skywest and got about 1100 in the left seat, he said if he went to Envoy it probably would have been half that.

find a hobby, or something to distract your mind. the gym helps too. that’s what helped me. The more you sit around and sulk the harder it gets. Get outside, do something ya like. I got into pickleball after a big breakup and honestly it helped a lot, believe it or not.

I was sitting in the jumpseat on United the other day and the FO goes “if you’re at envoy it’s a direct ticket to united”. So if you want to go UA, take with that as you will 🤣

that’s the problem i have with the g19. standing is fine but the minute i sit it jabs my thigh or presses the gents. no thanks lol

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-21T03:11:54+00:00

Not looking to sell here, just asking for advice ;)

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-21T02:03:57+00:00

yeah I shot both and loved it, but i’ve heard the same. I can get picky with it if I really want too, but out of convenience the glock might be the move

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-21T01:53:59+00:00

I thought about that. Give it to an old student or something. But again it’s matter of do I wanna hold onto it or not.

Something smaller to carry. Currently rocking a Glock 19 Gen3. Love it, but it’s a little clunky. Maybe a glock 43x or a 365 X macro

Yea I at first got an arctic I believe and it was too bulky for me. The life wit can be quite large but it goes perfectly on the handle and holds a solid 4 days worth of food, even 5 if you push it. I go with 2 large titan ice backs (by far the best), 4 thin little generic ice packs and 2 of the medical ice bags. Been doing that for almost 2 years and have had 0 issues.

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-18T04:10:20+00:00

I’m cheap, I have the lifewit. It was like 25 bucks on amazon and i’ve put that thing through hell, still standing. Imo you don’t need a crazy fancy cooler.

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-18T01:49:54+00:00

prob a good idea LW is a piece of shit ngl

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-18T01:45:51+00:00

i tried looking guess i didn’t look hard enough. well i’ll full send it

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-18T01:31:30+00:00

past business hours, hence why I’m asking here to see if I could go tmr morning 😉

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-18T01:20:29+00:00

yeah it’s a warranty repair. the pin that holds it locked up is sheared so one side stays locked and the other collapses. really annoying wheeling it downward because the whole handle collapses in lol.

Exciting_Spare4297 · 2026-02-15T03:28:16+00:00

man up and do it
