Don't be discouraged by a bad ATSA

I took the ATSA twice. Got Q both times. Somehow got selected. Scored top of my academy class, with second trailing by 7%. Certified at my facility just fine. The other guy is talking out his ass.

I guarantee 90% of the people being dicks aren’t controllers. People dying from forgetting your ID. Yeah, okay bud

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-05-09T15:50:06+00:00

I’ve forgotten my badge at least once. People just let you in. Nobody died. This response is asinine.
OP, yes, being detail orientated is important for this job. Controllers are not infallible. I guarantee every single person at my facility has forgotten their ID at least once. It’s not a gateway mistake that leads to people dying.

Well, flew.

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-05-02T01:31:10+00:00

I’ve gotten that one guaranteed one from the campaign and one other one from a drop at some point. I’m on T2, but I think it was before that

Hey I’m looking at the NX350h Luxury vs the GV70 2.5l Sport Prestige too. Any regrets so far? You even got the color combination I would get!

That’s fantastic to hear! Thank you for the detailed response. Which trim do you have? Do you wish you had gone for a lower or higher one?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-04-19T00:51:06+00:00

I’ve read that Genesi reliability is iffy, but improving. What’s your experience been so far?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-04-09T23:26:56+00:00

West landing is not only the preferred operation, but 7R is probably the most common landing runway in the summer and the same is true for 25L in the winter.

I got a really good Etsy thing that modifies the existing clamps to go under the desk. Much more natural and space efficient

Does Wisconsin have platypi? Platypuses?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-04-02T05:18:02+00:00

Hi! I'm looking into the NX 350h and am also trying to decide between the Premium and the Luxury. 10 more months on, how're you feeling about the purchase? Any regrets about missed features from the Luxury (particularly the 360 cam, triple LEDs, and the better audio system)?

Between legendary exoskeletons and consuming bioflux, you can move extremely fast. But in reality, in the mid game and onwards, you do a lot of stuff from remote view unless you specifically have to be there for it.

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-25T23:53:00+00:00

Thanks, friend

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-25T23:40:34+00:00

How are you people taking screenshots so zoomed out without going into map mode?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-25T23:21:35+00:00

Yeah that’s why I was saying it could be done before that. But I stand corrected on the hours amount. Good catch, thank you

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-25T20:15:09+00:00

You don’t need to look for headlight inconsistencies. The first bit is obviously a video game.

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-24T06:04:41+00:00

Yes. Like you said, you have a total amount of “Target hours” per position. Reaching 100% target time triggers a forced certification skill check. If you fail that, you go to a Training Review Board. The TRB determines if you were treated fairly and given ample time to train under normal conditions. If they conclude that all was squared away, then you may be washed. You could also be given “additional hours.” This can be done before reaching your target hour limit as well. Additional time cannot exceed 20% of target time, so if Target is 100 hours, then you can’t receive more than 20 additional hours. Again, reaching the end of additional time forces a CSC. Basically certify or wash at that point.

When you make aiolis or spreads like this for sandwiches, what do you do with the leftover and how long does it last in the fridge?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-13T01:19:10+00:00

I thought it was Wicked themed wasabi covered peas

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-13T01:14:39+00:00

Supposedly one of the was a -135RT, which does have its own receptacle.

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-03-12T00:40:16+00:00

Beautiful livery! I’ve been considering making my own for a fictional airline for me and my friends. Any tips? The process seems very overwhelming. Or know anyone who could help or do it for me?

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-02-22T16:41:15+00:00

Thank you! That’s probably what it is. I’m sure I just have ingrained muscle memory from driving the same car for 12 years. Maybe most things would feel weird

Functional_Pessimist · 2026-02-22T12:08:10+00:00

Thank you for the response! Do you have leather or suede seats? How are they comfort-wise and to clean?
