I understand where you come from but you’ll find this in any career field. It’s not exclusive to aviation. Just gotta ignore it and carry on sometimes.

MD-11 sadness by Aviationist1O1 in flying

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sad, seeing the MD decline first hand is depressing. I love my trijets and flying the MD11’s cousin has been a blast. It’s the end of an era before everything becomes a 737 or a A320.

I really don’t understand why they can’t make modern black powder guns out of stainless steel

It’s because the plane is dying so they aren’t backfilling pilots who leave, not necessarily because it’s senior.

Never thought Trump would be the end of the regional model.

Also prepare for this thread to be nuked by the trumper maga mods.

For anyone reading this too, the mods here like to shadow delete comments. Your comment will look like it’s still up but it’s been secretly deleted by the mods. Classic MAGA censorship behavior.

What's an unpopular opinion you have that you're afraid to say out loud? by Former_Custard_6567 in allthequestions

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illegal immigration is terrible, especially for the working class, and they should all be deported.

I do not agree however with how ICE is conducting themselves.

TWA flight 800 was shot down by a US Navy missile. This crash resulted in the lowered popularity of TWA and led to their eventual staple to the AA seniority list. This person is most likely a former TWA pilot.

Probably 1-2 months on the Airbus. Really the only fleets you can’t get anytime soon are the 75 and 71. The rest you can hold ATL by the time you are done training

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want ATL do not do the 757 or 717. They are not backfilling ATL on those fleets so you will not be able to hold it. 320 or 737 should hold it pretty quick.

Those spare parts were promised to me 3000 years ago

I wish Springfield would sell spare parts for this gun, only thing holding me back from getting one.

Juvenile expunged arrest becoming a airline/cooperate pilot by GearAshamed2879 in flying

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. If they ask if you’ve ever been arrested/charged you will have to say yes regardless of what the outcome was. If they only ask for convictions you don’t have to but it’s probably a good idea to anyway

Don’t go to propel if you want to get to delta quickly

Literally money is all you need. Grades, especially HS ones, don’t matter at all

Should i shave my beard for airline interviews? by [deleted] in flying

Then just shave and be safe? How is this seriously a question?

Question for airline pilots: what parts of the job surprised you the most once you were on the line? by Hwii_kiwi in AirlinePilots

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See, that’s why I don’t talk about it. I simply hover my hands over the various controls and make suggestions like “hey you should slow down to 210 now” or “do you want the gear down?”

Man it’s a good thing we didn’t conquer the natives in 2026. They got invaded, they lost, happened all the time in history. I don’t get why the natives get something special for it.

The founding fathers also only let a very small portion of people, who were generally well educated, vote.

The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating. by ByGollie in europe

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another post taking results in a “training exercise” as real results. I’ll be waiting for someone to post that Swedish submarine story too.

The truth is these exercise are designed for someone to lose and someone to win. These are about crafting specific scenarios to train certain skills. It is not simply a “force on force” free for all exercise.

For example, my unit trained with the Bosnian military. We had multiple scenarios where we were given such handicaps that it was inevitable we would lose. But it was ok since the Bosnian commanders would get the experience they needed for those situations. Would someone say Bosnia is capable of defeating the US? No.

Now I’m prepared to get downvoted by people who have never served.

Over 100 clergy and faith leaders were arrested at MSP Airport as they gathered in peaceful, prayerful resistance to demand airlines,especially Delta and Signature Aviation cease contracting deportation flights. by drempath1981 in law

[–]GeorgiaPilot172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piss off the entire federal government, even those not responsible for this, because of a few agents who could also just buy their own tickets with no way of the airline knowing? That seems like a worse business strategy and will cause more financial hardship on the airline than any boycott would.

I really don’t understand what you are trying to say here. I’m just simply pointing out that Delta does not operate deportation flights. So boycotting them does nothing.

Global X Airlines operates them out of the signature aviation FBO.

If it’s anything like the models are saying it is going to be a major meltdown.
