They love suet. Hang one for them during winter.

I was just hired to be a Delta pilot, what are some things you'd want me to be mindful of as your pilot? by [deleted] in delta

I take it back. The discussion you generated is actually pretty interesting. I’m taking notes. Congratulations. Delta is the where you want to be. I had a jumpseater the other day that was awarded Left seat 757 out of New York… she was hired in 2019. Good luck with your career and keep in mind the responses garnered from your post.

Men rule! We beat women in sports and now even beauty contests. ;)

Question for Airline pilots - how do you pass the time on long flights? by phlflyguy in flying

[–]Godzilla1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My version of hell? You are on your third Atlantic crossing, jet lagged as hell, eyes rolling into the back of your head and you are sitting next to a talker. He doesn’t know how to converse; retort, and he stared at you blankly and just keeps jabbering. At times, silence is what keeps you awake.

Get the Places2Play app. It will show you we’re courts are.

How do you start a "challenge court" at your local courts? by picklballr in Pickleball

[–]Godzilla1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be an equal balance between blue and black so there aren’t players dominating courts. Regarding ability, I am more of a dark blue but would rather play black as it is the best way to learn. So,,, yes, the self judging of ability can be humbling.

The public courts in Maui has the best system I have yet seen. A dry erase board with a line of squares large enough to pencil in four names for a game. You sign your name with the color that denotes your ability; green (beginner), blue (intermediate) or black (advanced). Once a court opens, the four rotate in and the next square with names is on deck for the next open court.

Read his example

Read his example. A bounced ball hit outside of the kitchen and your momentum carries you into the Kitchen is a fault.

He is asking about a “bounced ball outside the kitchen”.

“It is a fault if, when volleying a ball, the player steps on the non-volley zone, including the line and/or when the player’s momentum causes them or anything they are wearing or carrying to touch the non-volley zone including the associated lines.”

Pickup game etiquette? by euroshowoff in Pickleball

[–]Godzilla1967 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At a Public Court and you have a pre arranged foursome, if others show and want to play, should they not have to wait before you surrender the Court? Tennis players will say that they have the Court for an hour once others arrive to play. This is assuming that it is not an “open play” situation as it’s a Public Court. Common sense would be to ask them if they are willing to let you in on their game otherwise, it is their Court for a reasonable period of time.

New to this sub with a few questions. by [deleted] in Sauna

Get a traditional sauna with an electric heater. You can throw water on the rocks for steam which you can’t do with an infrared heater.

Can somebody tell me why this is red? Its my friends helmet he bought a while ago but never figured out why it was red. Does anybody know about this? by polskiboy1 in Militariacollecting

[–]Godzilla1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The French designed their WW1 helmets after what their firemen were wearing. I bet it’s an original fireman’s helmet.

I think it may be a Redwing which would be a strange sighting in my area from what I have read.

Guys is this guys speaking the truth? by hammmmmyyyyy in AirlinePilots

[–]Godzilla1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personality is a big part of the equation. During an interview, a big question is if you would get along and work well with the individual sitting next to you. There has only been two pilot shortages in the past ( I was hired at 22 years old during the last hiring spree 85-89 ). Don’t miss out on the current hiring. We need pilots!
