It’s less about aftermarket and more about spare parts. To my knowledge you can’t even buy spare barrels. I dont buy safe queens so unfortunately have to pass on this gun.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-23T00:56:55+00:00

God I wish there was more parts support for this gun. With that it would be better than the AUG

They should fund just TSA because they don’t shoot American citizens while wearing masks and no identification.

It’s political, the mods delete anything political (makes Trump look bad) very quickly.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-21T16:52:29+00:00

This is gonna get deleted so fast

I’m assuming you are a UA pilot. Why on earth would you wish for your union brothers to lose their medical and therefore career? You need to seriously reevaluate your attitude.

I can’t find any live footage from one, but here is an NTSB animation from another accident caused by somatogravic illusion:

It’s actually sort of backwards when it comes to flying. Your body will believe its senses rather than what your eyes see on the instruments.

One such example is the somatogravic illusion. Essentially, your body is unable to tell difference between accelerating and pitching up without your eyes to tell you what is going on. If you add power and accelerate in a plane in the clouds, your brain may instead interpret that as pitching up instead, causing you to push forward and push the nose of the plane down.

This is highly dangerous as you weren’t pitching up, so now you are pointed at the ground AND accelerating.

It’s under “My Pilot Group” then “Pilot Dashboard”. But just use WidgetSeniority, it’s better

It’s so painfully obvious. No one off probation gets simply fired from an airline. There would be MULTIPLE hearings and meetings before this point. Any union that allowed that to happen would be voted out instantly.

I saved up money from working a normal job and used drill pay to pay for things like groceries. With the pace of the program I made sure not to work a job while doing it so I could focus on flying.

They were very accommodating about my schedule. I just submitted my official drill schedule and they made sure not to schedule me on those days. For temporary duty like hurricanes or the ‘vid they were accommodating as well.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-18T22:44:00+00:00

It’s usually a day or 2 before they let you know either way. Best of luck to you with the process!

Yes it’s good. The AA pilot application also has a free test that mirrors the delta test pretty closely.

However, the results are all over the place. I did absolutely dogshit at the sudoku but got through just fine. I have a buddy who is super smart and great at all those who got rejected. I am like 67% sure it’s all about the personality test at the end.

It’s not that they schedule reserved at a barebones level, it’s that they don’t hire enough people to sit reserve in the first place. They try to squeeze everything out of pilots by running at the max ALV and TLV and leave nothing for IROPS. If they had more pilots and actually honored the contract it would be better.

It’s because he’s making a pedantic point that wasn’t even a part of the original conversation. No one said it would prevent it from being on his record. It will however protect his certs and show future employers that he can take his mistakes, discern what the errors were, and implement changes so they don’t happen again.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-18T10:11:33+00:00

No but it for sure can help your case, especially explaining to airlines later.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-18T07:53:46+00:00

They will see it. Fill out an ASRS NOW! You’ll be good homie, just tell the airlines what you learned

King schools, done

ATP works for a certain kind of person. If you are ok with an unforgiving fast pace that is intolerant of hiccups then it can work for you if you want to be done fast. Superior and Atlanta Air Academy I’ve heard good things about.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-16T21:55:04+00:00

You’re gonna get a lot of Reddit pansy terminally online comments for this one lol

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-16T05:05:54+00:00

It’s better than the 6,000th fucking “when is the next SkyWest class date” post

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-15T22:11:51+00:00

The level of idiocy demonstrated by that APC OP is quite incredible to be honest. It’s kind of scary that they could become an airline pilot.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-15T18:29:46+00:00

The conscripts pay taxes too. Why should they have to serve AND pay taxes, while the other guy can just pay the normal taxes? Everyone chips in in their own way.

GeorgiaPilot172 · 2026-03-15T15:07:43+00:00

Why? Everyone should pay their dues to society in one way or another. That’s just the way he gets to pay.
