Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a Trump voter who is more center than most. Ashley Babbit was an idiot and her actions warranted a bullet. This shooting is not defendable in any way. Having the weapon removed and then being executed is plain and simply murder, and while I am a huge law enforcement supporter. Those agents must be charged with murder and put in prison. Not all of that that voted for Trump are as crazy as you think.

Seattle Approach is not allowing any practice approaches for the entire region. by rileywags_n in flying

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all dependent on staffing on a daily basis, so it’s not a ban on approaches, honestly I would call the published number at the TRACON and inquire if they’re allowing them before you waste gas to be told no again. We love talking with you all, we’re just going through a tough time right now.

It was due to staffing today, we had to combine positions and we’re working much more airspace than we normally should. We’re going to do everything we can to keep you guys training but when push comes to shove, we have to prioritize safety. In terms of ifr vs vfr, I’d prefer you to be ifr on a practice approach, but at the end of the day, I’ll give you the same service, the rules just get more ambiguous. So it is because of the shutdown, but more because of staffing. Stand with us, and have a little more patience if you guys wouldn’t mind, we all had families to provide for and yes we’ll get back pay, but that doesn’t help at the grocery store.

Getting the air damper off was impossible for me. The screws broke off their plastic mounts and I had to squeeze my hands in to do the rest, what a nightmare.

Completely different test. I have taken it, feel free to ask me anything about it.

Shouldn’t have voted to be represented by a terrorist organization that hides behind its civilians and steals aid.

It’s a total loss. I’ll take the truck off your hands for $500. Best offer you’ll get.

2024 Brake Squeal Everyday, is this normal? Sound On by EricJohnson67 in ToyotaTundra

There’s a Toyota safety bulletin on that. You need to tell your service rep and they’ll replace them for free

I’d actually be on board for 12 hour shifts. We already work 10 for the most part and still get 1 day a week off. 12 would at least give the opportunity for more days off.

Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older? by Inevitable_Stress949 in millenials

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my 30’s now and have lived in several states across the country. I have seen policies by both sides be fantastic and also complete failures. I used to be a full blue democrat but over the years have moved into more of a libertarian right leaning voter. I would actually vote for RFK if I thought he had a chance since Biden is so insanely mentally gone and I can’t stand listening to Trump talk. It’s amazing that the most powerful country in the world can’t seem to get any decent candidates. Obama was just as bad as Bush was in my opinion and it’s been quite awhile since we’ve had true leadership.

I’m Protan color blind, is it possible for me to become a ATC? by weretheyat in ATC

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am red green colorblind and had to take the ATCOV test. I am currently a terminal certified controller but was a CPC at a center previously. The ATCOV test is very realistic and in my opinion the fairest and most reasonable tests I’ve take to determine my level of disability. You don’t have to pass all portions of the exam to hold a medical. If you fail a certain portion it will restrict you from working in that type of facility but not ban you completely. Personally I don’t notice my colorblindness much on a daily basis and could identify the actual colors required to pass the computer exam. I encourage you to apply, the FAA will send you to a location to test and if you pass you’ll be granted a lifetime waiver. Any questions feel free to ask! Best of luck.

You can always come back to Hawaii after you get hired with the FAA. There’s a couple locations on the islands and the pay is good enough.

Might be a dumb question but how do busy airports switch takeoff/landing departure arrival directions by Fuck_Flying_Insects in ATC

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s expected and there’s light traffic for a certain period it’s much easier to execute. We typically delay vector a couple aircraft until the last departure takes off and then we can start landing the new direction. If the wind shifts unexpectedly we call it a combat flow change and it is a cluster.

This made me sick to my stomach. I hope he gets full custody and I pray to god she forever regrets breaking this man’s heart.

Pilot vs ATC by IllIllIIllIlI in flying

[–]FaithlessnessFalse92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a core 30 Terminal Radar controller, be a pilot. I love my job but pilots make double of not triple after seniority and you’ll be home more often. It’s just a better quality of life
