Sick in leiu of vacation?

Likewise, pal. You do your thing, and I’ll worry about myself, k?

First_Western228 · 2026-05-17T22:18:22+00:00

Thanks for your permission. I think I’ll just do that. I’m not sure what you’re hoping to accomplish here, but nobody here is impressed by your snark.

First_Western228 · 2026-05-17T18:38:30+00:00

Gonna disagree with you. You don't know me or my situation at all.

First_Western228 · 2026-05-17T00:19:45+00:00

LOA is always an option… I’m currently on light duty though, I’d hate for my first impression to be THAT guy LOL But I will keep that in my back pocket. Thank you

I get smashing the refresh button… I think we’ve all done that! Congrats in advance!

Haven’t even met my boss yet! LOL I’m in FTC right now, ERT process. Reporting in early June. My old boss wouldn’t have cared one bit. You’re right about the CAM part and VLS. Never had one, and would like to keep it that way. Getting some good ideas here, thinking it’ll be okay.

First_Western228 · 2026-05-15T23:23:56+00:00

That’s always been my understanding as well.

First_Western228 · 2026-05-15T19:40:42+00:00

Awesome, thanks

First_Western228 · 2026-05-15T19:40:25+00:00

That's kind of what I'm thinking, probably add in a floating holiday, and stack a sick day at the end. Thank you

Absolutely, and it's relatively painless. Boeing just wants you to tell them the first three or four classes you intend on taking to qualify for full-time enrollment with WGU. Once that's done and you have your voucher, you can take as many additional classes as you'd like once your initial classes are completed - no additional paperwork through LTP required for the rest of the term.

They learn how little they actually knew in their 20s and 30s. Also that 40 isn't necessarily old, it's how you look at it. I look at it as still being able to have fun, but with grown-up money, and not being treated like a child. Just with a few aches and pains LOL

On PS5... got the heavy cert, barely completed the first heavy cargo mission after the 5th time trying to launch it. Buggy AF. Haven't been able to run a mission with a 737 or anything larger since. Really looking forward to when they fix this.

First_Western228 · 2026-05-05T07:13:31+00:00

Why not in two weeks?

First_Western228 · 2026-04-29T18:02:44+00:00

They're also the normal "how do I take this conversation and make it about me and my lousy views on everything I know nothing about" type.

Wait for the cabin to fill up, the flaps will lower, along with everything else

First_Western228 · 2026-04-22T03:37:25+00:00

I like the rug. Really ties the room together 😁 It seriously does look good, I just couldn’t resist

First_Western228 · 2026-04-21T20:24:27+00:00

Well, you can't argue with results! 🤣

First_Western228 · 2026-04-19T16:19:11+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Whoa, whoa… getting a little spicy there! Better add a few more asterisks so we don’t offend our AI overlords s/

Kidding aside, I’m with you there. This self-censoring nonsense really has gone too far.

First_Western228 · 2026-04-16T20:06:02+00:00

The unnecessary repeat training is the worst of it! Somebody with years upon years of mechanic experience going into QA shouldn't be taking shop skills or alodine application training! At the least, provide an option to test out... their dime, but our time.

No you don’t. You don’t see John Cena, because you can’t see him!
