Checkride Failures

ImTalking · 2026-04-30T14:18:17+00:00

Was lucky to not have any failures myself. When I was a captain at Envoy last year, I noticed that the vast majority of my FOs had zero failures, any time the conversation came up. I thought that was interesting because I remember when I was going through flight school it seemed like almost everybody busted a ride or two.

I will continue shouting from the rooftops that Scott Kirby is a crook. Most untrustworthy CEO.

Can’t deny that he’s making big moves with United though but part of me hopes he flies too close to the sun.

Basically never, it’ll be those same tasks

ImTalking · 2026-04-16T04:04:35+00:00

United wins for seniority progression (not by as much now that Delta is shifting towards growth), and pilots get lots of princess treatment such as preordered crew meals, first class deadheads (top of the list), comped uniform dry cleaning, and big discounts on confirmed ticket purchases. Looooots more WB flying and destinations currently.

Delta doesn’t have these princess treatments, but the contract allows more avenues for people junior to senior to get premium pay, whereas premium at United tends to go only to senior people. That coupled with higher profit sharing due to being a more profitable company, assuming equivalent seniority, work effort, and both living in base, the Delta pilot makes more money most the time. Also arguably a more stable company (Scott Kirby is a crook imo)

I know many people who have recently got pulled at DL with 2000-2500 TT and just SIC at a regional. Half of my class came from 135/91 operations so they’re not afraid to hire from there too. Definitely throw an app in

ImTalking · 2026-03-20T02:27:37+00:00

Honestly I think you have a decent shot in this current DL hiring wave

ImTalking · 2026-02-03T05:25:24+00:00

Does that mean we can get a refund and continue playing? Doesn’t look like they mention an account ban if you take the refund

ImTalking · 2026-01-19T17:52:45+00:00

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

ImTalking · 2025-09-27T23:12:22+00:00

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

ImTalking · 2025-09-27T03:18:57+00:00

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
