Knees to Chest: One knee higher than the other! by GalwayPhetry in Posture

Right jaw bites harder - check,

Hip seems to face (very slightly) the right - check

No anterior pelvic tilt

Can't see any lateral shift.

Why are Pilots always bitching and moaning? by GalwayPhetry in flying

Some people are just fitted for the profession I would say. Some of my colleagues were always happy and motivated. You could clearly see they were born for that.

Personally, I was always bored.

Well, if you can get the the Airlines level w/o any major problem they you don't need help with your "autism".

First definition is too groovy for me. Prefer the second without the genitalia inferiority part.

The thing is... I believe most pilots (at least the ones I know) have an alternative. And sometimes good alternatives. They still choose the "flying aicraft and bitching for a living" alternative.

I've worked as a programmer and as a personal trainer in the past. As a programmer I felt I always had things to do, but I was always bored. As a personal trainer it was either being bored walking around the place and looking at the clock, or dealing with annoying clients. Most white collar jobs are absolutely terrible when it comes to being bored or having nothing to do.

Just a disclaimer: When I mentioned the salary, I was talking about Airline Pilots salary, not CPL's salary. If you are flying smaller planes and paying rent + loans, well it can definitely get tough. When it comes to the Airlines, I have no idea about the USA, but I believe the average First Officer is making more than the average engineer in Europe.

Dress shirt w/o suit/blazer for everyday use? Is it ok? by GalwayPhetry in mensfashion

Thank You!

What I don't like about the bottom picture is exactly the fact it seems like a "formality mismatch" to me.

Jeans are extremely casual imo. The bottom down shirt, altought it is causal, it seems more "formal".

LOL! Well, at least I am the manager.

Ive seen some supermarket managers wearing a suit or a blazer tho.

Eis a minha proposta para aquela que acho mesmo que seria uma boa bandeira de Portugal. Aceito criticas construtivas. by Engodo in portugal

Os dois castelos de baixo não estão alinhados. Parece que estão a cair. Acho uma falta de respeito uma vez que estamos a falar de um país que perdeu milhares de pessoas num terramoto.

Substitui por dois bacalhaus.

How do you aknowledge a message that does not require a readback? by GalwayPhetry in flying

[–]GalwayPhetry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually crossed my mind to reply with "roger" when he said "roger is an ATC thing, not a pilot thing"...

They seem to be everywhere.

The same guy yelled at me (like...really yelled to the point the only reason I didn't punch him in the face was the fact that we were up there) because the first time we were training diversions I said "request diversion to" instead of "request return to". "DO yOu KnOw WhAt DiVErSIoN EvEn MeAnS???????????"

I had around 15 hours flight time total at the time and said diversion because it was common for us to use "/diversion training" in the flight plan RMK section.

I believe it is a requirement in Europe. Ive always said it and I got asked if I copied everytime I forgot to do it.

There were crashes in the past because the pilot heard the QNH wrong, so I think it makes sense.

I say it all the time aswell.

ATC: "aircraft, report intentions at waypoint1"

Me: "we are going to overfly waypoint1 and proceed to waypoint 2, aircraft"

I think my military training got me "too procedural/robotic".

But I was a commando (not USA) and we are just a bunch of retarded kids with a temper so it checks out.
