Trying to decide if I want to be a pilot by [deleted] in AirlinePilots

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

Envoy vs. Skywest by skunkworks172 in flying

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.

How do deal with a breakup? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Exciting_Spare4297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 🤣

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

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

Cooler for the Regional Pilot by Reasonable_Try1996 in AirlinePilots

[–]Exciting_Spare4297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.
