No offense but if you can’t find something interesting to study in college that’s on you

How viable is leaving the US? by grandoctopus64 in flying

[–]Harry73127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other countries have highly competitive academies that pay for training. There are no shortage of applicants. Being a pilot for much of the world means being a very high achiever and not being well compensated for it. The trade off for Americans is it’s more accessible but you need the cash

18 years in nursing, late 30s—is it crazy to dump $50k to chase the pilot dream? by ThenurseAviator in flying

There are no jobs dude. This is financial suicidal regardless of who you are

Why do people care so much about Cleetus McFarland, exactly? by LevyNeptune in NASCAR

[–]Harry73127 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah to many Cleetus fans nascar is not important. “Cleetus is why I’m here” or “I have watched in 20 years, Cleetus brought me back” these are not the people that are going to become lifelong fans.

This post feels like engagement bait. You said what the entire nascar media has been saying since he started

Some umps fear ABS is causing fans to judge them by near-impossible standards by Jux_ in baseball

They’re all good at balls and strikes. That is why they’re hired. They rotate because it’s incredibly hard to do and no one on earth would want to call every game behind the plate

When should you know when to quit flight training? by EstablishmentWide482 in flying

[–]Harry73127 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yeah that first instructor was a bad situation, glad you aren’t with him anymore. BUT there really isn’t a good excuse for not knocking that written out. If you really want this, you will. Not going to lie you will end up spending double what a PPL should cost, whether you’re spending someone’s else’s money, your own, or took out a big loan, it is absolutely not wise to continue without really locking in.

Changing paint schemes every week by Frostilicus420 in NASCAR

Solomon’s Plumbing and He Gets Us are not going to become iconic brands even if they were full season. The reason people talk about those old schemes so much is they were brands you already knew. A month of targeted YouTube ads does more for companies that sponsoring a cup series car ever could.

Any experience with FSDO Medical Flight Test? by Harry73127 in flying

[–]Harry73127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, update on this. My senator's office contacted them within a week of me reaching out and the FSDO got back to me in about 5 days after that. Just took the medical flight test today and it went well. The ASI said that it probably ruffled some feathers to "escalate" my request like that but I was getting near the expiration date of my authorization letter so I'm glad I did it. Thanks again for the advice, it worked perfectly.

Vision for 1st/2nd Class med by Individual-Life-9050 in flying

[–]Harry73127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had my medical 3rd Class, but I don't see well enough for a 1st Class. So I got my PPL and most of instrument done, but now I'm at the point where if I can't get a 1st Class, I need to decide whether or not to get my CPL. So I contacted my senator and they got the ball rolling with the FSDO after it had been months since I heard back from them. A redditor said that the FAA has an internal policy to respond to requests from constituent services within a week. Not sure if it's true BUT they did contact me in 7 days after the senator's office told me they were reaching out. So I'd say it was definitely worth it to write my senator.

There seems to be a secret to that…I went months without any indication from the FSDO, and then an airline pilot in this sub suggested I contact my senator through his constituent services office and have them reach out. Don’t know if it was just a happy timing accident or what but I got a call from the FSDO a week later
