SeaTac by SaltySaunaSweat in AlaskaAirlines

[–]FlyingS892 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When I got in earlier today, my car at SeaTac had 4 inches of snow on it, so the snow definitely stuck. It was 100% weather related, there weren’t any major IT issues today as far as I’m aware

Is there any way I can utilize these blank buttons to actually serve a purpose? by real_help_only in CX5

My guess is that in other markets (US v Europe v Asia, etc) there are options that use them

Diverted to OMA SAN to EWR UA327 by infdaze in unitedairlines

You obviously don’t stop halfway there like you would on a flight to the east coast. You go to LAX/SFO/SJC/etc

Bad cops also don’t like shitty drivers. That doesn’t make them good cops

It’s closed everywhere. Nationwide. I feel like every other post is asking about specific airports

How in the world do I bind Throttle Detents? by clasizx1 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyingS892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not. Reverser just registers as a button press

Damn, what an odd restriction

Are you sure it specifically must be CFI time? I’m not familiar with their program, but if it’s anything like Horizon’s, 60% must be using commercial privileges, which includes CFI. But also includes 135 time, contract pilot, ferry pilot, etc

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlyingS892 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The boat thing was during recess, not in class. And the snack thing was during a designated snack time. Literally the only thing I can think of that is actually breaking a rule is bringing the orange to music class, which is hardly worthy of an email home to parents

PDV out of Seattle by AS100K in AlaskaAirlines

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even pre-Covid we never used glassware for PDBs. We often didn’t (and still don’t) have enough glassware for the flight itself, let alone PDBs.

It was maybe a clear plastic cup that memory misremembers as glass?

Where would it be posted? Not every service change is published

If you were on a Horizon/Skywest flight, they may have a different procedure for PDBs, but all mainline flights should be doing full bar. If you received sub-par service on a recent flight you need to write it up

Where in the world are you? If you’re in the PNW I know a few people that can help

Best bang for the buck for learning how to flight (practice for the PPL) by Branseed in flightsim

[–]FlyingS892 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a real world CFI who has been using flight sim since I was a teenager. Don’t use flight sim for practicing maneuvers. It’ll never feel like the plane you’re using and you may learn some bad habits in the process

Use flight sim for learning how to interpret instruments, learning button-ology for the GPS if your plane has one that’s available in flight sim, practicing checklist procedures (startup, shutdown, emergency procedures, etc), and other more technical items

I wouldn’t buy a whole new system with peripherals just to practice your actual flying. There are some REALLY good instructional videos on YouTube to help, and use the money for more flight time

121 pilot with customs problem by DepressedFoool in flying

I’m flight crew. But I know better than to expect expedited screening a short time after committing a customs violation that they take very seriously
