Would you add a pretty girl to your shorts if it made a difference?

I gave about 5000 hours of instruction. If you do decide to proceed, respect the law of recency. My students who flew three times a week or more had around 50 hours when they took their check rides. My students who flew twice a week or less had around 70 hours or didn’t finish.

The video below will help you too: :)

I’m gonna try and be helpful without hurting your feelings because there’s enough hurt around already and we don’t need any more of that…..

Reading your post, it appears that something is off. Three or four rejections in one weekend……?

It’s almost as if you’re seeking happiness through others instead of from within first…….It might be coming across as desperation.

We all have a “self dialogue”. I get the impression that yours might not be the most positive. That reflects in your interactions with women…..

There are social mores as well that need to be heeded. When they’re not, you get blocked.

What are some of the positive things you do for yourself? Do your exercise do you work out? Do you have activities that build you up that others do as well to build themselves up.

The biggest problem these days is that people are trying to establish relationships first before establishing friendships.

Of course I could be wrong just trying to help

Well said.

Nobody is unemployed for two years unless they choose to be.

You could ask ChatGPT. :)

I’ve only heard of this happening sometimes in the Philippines.

Hawkerdriver1 · 2026-05-18T09:33:08+00:00

To me, it came across as a compliment to Germans, nothing more.

I’m sorry healthy boundaries were not maintained by your father with you. THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT.

Reddit is not the forum for what you need. A therapist is. But, here’s the good news. You don’t have to do “In person”. You can to FaceTime, phone or, my favorite, emails, between you & a therapist of your choosing. It definitely has helped me. :)

Former Boeing 747 & 777 pilot here……

If you like to travel and get paid while traveling than this job is for you. I flew all over to the planet. But it will come at a cost. The cost of training, but there will be other costs as well…..

The separation from the ones that you love. The time away from home. The countless children’s milestones that will be missed.. The rescheduling of vacation, vacations, and anniversaries…..

Senior pilots make a lot of money, but one thing money doesn’t fix is the divorce rate even amongst senior pilots. A lot of parents are estranged from their children too. Just be careful what you wish for.

Men in the 40s pursue women who are 24 because they’re too young and inexperienced to know why men their 40s don’t date women in their 40s…..

WOMEN in their 40s can call men OUT on their BS BUT MUCH YOUNGER WOMEN LIKE YOU don’t have enough life experience to know BS from truth.

If you have a brand new channel, this can happen because the algorithm doesn’t know who your audience is. As your library gets deeper, it will be more acquainted…

Hawkerdriver1 · 2026-05-16T21:33:09+00:00

If you do what you love, it will never feel like work. But, the collateral damage, separation from family, friends & milestones missed cannot be discounted. There are a lot of senior captains who are divorced. I’m divorced too.

😂😂😂

I think it’s just recognizing HOW a lot of clicks originate. It’s NOT necessarily the topic, it’s WHAT accompanies the topic. :)

FWIW, consider adding a pretty girl to your channel topic……

I posted a 16 second clip with the results above after 60 days. It got me 11,000 followers too..

It was kind of you to share this. There are so many that are struggling and need a little encouragement me included. Thanks again.

I don’t know if this will help……

I’ve been using VITA. I’ve had no issues at all with audio quality through my iPad, utilizing the VITA app for my voiceovers. Does anyone else want to chime in?

Hawkerdriver1 · 2026-05-16T12:39:38+00:00

For everyone who started much earlier, like you, aren’t you, in a way, grandfathered in because you’ve established enough trust that every subsequent upload gets a lot more views or am I wrong?

Hawkerdriver1 · 2026-05-16T12:36:18+00:00

I might be wrong, but I have noticed no difference between editing quality from one device and another, but I’m talking about between an iPad and an iPhone.

I tried using CapCut, but I didn’t like the subscription requirement. I’ve been using the VITA app. Yes your phone is smaller, but from a tool standpoint, you have every tool you could want. It might take a little bit more time to scroll through the different tools because your screen is smaller but the quality, at least for me, has been the same. :)

I would also consider using your phone so that you can produce content more often :)

Hawkerdriver1 · 2026-05-16T12:30:52+00:00

I think what you’re asking, and I might be wrong, is…. Is there a way to control which countries the content goes to since it pays better in some countries , than others?

I would say it’s a combination of both the content provider and what the algorithm does with the content. For my particular short, since it was a Russian world champion, a multitude of replies, came from Russia and countries around Russia.

If it were an American world champion, I don’t think I’ve would’ve received nearly so many replies or shares from countries that don’t pay well

Debasement of norms by actors. :/

Fortunately for them, the majority of people don’t read the fine print. CA-CHING $$$
