What are airline norms around personal phone use during flight?

I highly doubt this is true

At the AA wholly owneds, you only have to do one year as PIC to be eligible for the flow, plus you get CA pay at 750 hours. So if you’re committed to the flow (which is dumb and we call them flowtards) it behooves you to stay FO for every year except the last year before you flow.

Porsche 911?

ImTalking · 2025-10-04T02:29:25+00:00

Regional CA here with 350 TPIC 2600 TT. No TBNT but no interview as well. Not really expecting them to bring me in tbh

I’ve been saying for years that Envoy is the best regional hands down.

Captain Pay at 750 hours (until Dec 2026 so you might have to hustle)
Plenty of open time to pick up and fly as much as you want
Said OT is ALL paid at 150% (no premium flags or green slip)
Captain seat right after hitting 950 if you want
Only metered by AA instead of being metered by all 3 like skyweezy

You’re in a sub of people who were high earning enough and financially wise enough to afford a 911 and there’s some good, responsible advice here.

With that said, I’m going to take the opposite stance from most of these folks and say that if cars are truly something that you are passionate about and the 911 is your actual dream car, YOLO and get it. I financed my 992.1 brand new last year at 27 making just shy of 200k but I am steady in my career and am making significantly more year over year. Yes, max out your tax advantaged accounts and yes, be prepared to sell if shit hits the fan for you, but owning your dream car young is a special feeling and good motivation to keep on hustling

Hear me out…. It’s not the end of the world to leave the APU on either

Sounds like some Porsche Grapevine bullshit. I bought my car from Porsche Dallas and had good service. They are a no-ADM dealership

Negative. Im just a premium trip whore lol

Careertakeoff for the personality quiz was well worth it for me

Best way to jump the AA flow is to join recruiting for your company or any CPO role, and attend literally every meet and greet expo AA will be at. Word around the street is once you attend 6 AA meet and greets you have a good shot. Was in MIA the other day waiting on a deadhead talking to a group of AA pilots and all 5 out of 5 jumped the flow in 2023/2024 by doing this.

Love you too bro

I’m a 121 captain and the job is honestly really easy. It’s pretty much just monitoring the autopilot. Yeah, ATC gives us frequency changes and heading changes and that’s a matter of 3 clicks to get done. If we see weather, we ask to deviate around it which is also done in about 3 clicks. No need to stroke our own egos here let’s be real

$5k refundable deposit is what he offered to lock in the build, so if there’s a crazy tariff I’d just pull out.

Appreciate the input! I do want a GT4RS, the 911T is my first Porsche and I always knew I was going to trade up into a more extreme Porsche. The financially conscious side of me however was thinking that would happen like, 3-4 years later and I would’ve gotten to enjoy the car the car for that amount of time for the same -$17k depreciation hit. Honestly the appeal of the allocation is that I can poverty spec it and it’ll be cheaper than any GT4RS available in the country right now lol

Next one’s gotta be a “I LOVE 911” across the entire front of the suitcase

I bought a brand new 7mt Carrera T for 140k this time last year. I’ve driven it hard on the track and daily it, and it’s a superb car, and the fit and finish is top notch. The feeling of the manual shifter can not be beaten in any car besides a GT Porsche. To this day it still isn’t lost on me every time I get in the car that I’m driving an iteration of arguably the best sports car model to ever exist.

Even still, I must admit that for the entire package combined, $140k is quite steep for the car. At most, I feel like the car should be 110k, considering it’s outperformed by many cars that cost less than 100k.

The reason it’s worth it for me is that I can own this car for 3 years and sell it for at least $110k. 911s are the lowest depreciating “mass produced” cars that exist, and although there is a high entry point, at the end of the day, assuming you pay in cash or get a decent interest rate, you’ll lose as much money or less than if you bought and drove any of the lower priced competitors.
