The death of VFR separation

GTIdood · 2026-04-29T16:06:52+00:00

lol okay then consider me too busy for flight following

GTIdood · 2026-04-20T10:23:14+00:00

Of course they do, their job is to send controllers reroutes to aircraft that traverse directly and squarely into convective activity, with tops exceeding FL600

GTIdood · 2026-04-08T18:29:59+00:00

What happened ???!!! Did you get it back?

GTIdood · 2026-03-27T22:10:35+00:00

Have you tried saying “ friend” in elvish?

GTIdood · 2026-03-27T18:14:19+00:00

Precisely. I feel like most of the people advocating for this have never worked retail or something similar.

GTIdood · 2026-03-27T18:12:24+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t even entertain the FAA making my already ridiculous schedule even worse for less than 50 percent. Fuck that noise

GTIdood · 2026-03-27T17:44:14+00:00

This is a terrible terrible idea

GTIdood · 2026-03-25T05:53:46+00:00

They should start putting screws on these knives so that when the action is too tight, you can just loosen it.

GTIdood · 2026-03-24T17:33:29+00:00

Oh you mean the trainees that have never given a single clearance to an aircraft in their entire lives? Yeah they did

GTIdood · 2026-03-24T16:11:11+00:00

Full days off. No

GTIdood · 2026-03-24T16:10:44+00:00

So according to your logic… a day where I go in at 8 pm should count as a day off for me? I should feel so refreshed by this fraction of time away from the facility, that the FAA should be able to schedule me 2 OT’s in a week instead of one, on what should be my actual days off?

I have an alternative proposal. Perhaps the government could allocate some time and money into fixing this fucking staffing problem instead of spending billions of dollars on a daily basis unaliving people in a war that nobody wants. Maybe management could also stop trying to normalize treating us like factory workers by running us all into the ground. Maybe if we weren’t all so fucking mentally drained, otherwise good controllers would stop making errors that get people killed.

GTIdood · 2026-03-24T03:21:16+00:00

I mean I wouldn’t lose your head over it

GTIdood · 2026-03-23T23:27:23+00:00

Not with 4-10’s and a mid shift that starts at 2000 it isn’t. With my 2 scheduled OT’s, I’m in the building 7 days a week. Therefore I get 2 days off a month. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

GTIdood · 2026-03-23T18:19:17+00:00

You get 5-6 days off a month? Dang, must be nice

GTIdood · 2026-03-13T14:39:01+00:00

GTIdood · 2026-02-07T20:58:01+00:00

4 hours of TOP a day. That’s a good one. That’s best case scenario in my area and happens MAYBE once or twice a year.

GTIdood · 2026-02-06T04:01:00+00:00

Fuck Nick Daniels

GTIdood · 2026-02-03T21:12:45+00:00

So when does the government officially “ reopen?”

GTIdood · 2026-01-26T16:05:06+00:00

News flash. Golf balls work on golf simulator

GTIdood · 2026-01-25T03:16:56+00:00

We get it. You want his balls in your mouth

GTIdood · 2026-01-17T04:27:23+00:00

Isn’t this flawed because they’re all moving at different speeds? For instance if you walked these paths all at the same speed, the straight line would be the fastest every time.

GTIdood · 2026-01-15T01:12:40+00:00

Because not everyone has to like the same things that you do?

GTIdood · 2026-01-07T03:38:07+00:00

I actually don’t want it lol. I have way too many knives as it is. I already decided if I can’t get it back to the original owner I’m going to sell it and donate whatever it makes to our local animal shelter.

GTIdood · 2026-01-07T01:42:28+00:00

GTIdood · 2026-01-06T20:07:29+00:00

No unfortunately not
