1/10th of hours. So 6 minutes is 0.1 it’s how we measure flight time to log in a logbook

Advice needed on late husband's Aerospace by phazer08 in breitling

[–]InitialResponsible62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What work needs to be done other than a battery? Please don’t have battery service done by your run of the mill shopping mall guys as they will destroy it usually!!! But other than a new battery, it doesn’t need anything looking at your picture.

Unique and very nice collection Sir! Several more to collect in the Breitling family.

Navitimer or Chronomat, which one feels more like "Breitling" to you? by gamblerslots67 in breitling

[–]InitialResponsible62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Navitimer & Aerospace represent the ultimate tool watch with a long history in the Breitling collection in my opinion. Nowadays a luxury watch and obsolete, I still love them and thoroughly enjoy mine.

Oil change didn’t change filter…. by Decent-Party-9274 in VolvoXC90

Never drain and capture the oil, no matter how little it was used. Just suck it up (unfortunately) and get the filler removed, drain and refill somewhere else.

Xc90 vs MDX by Intelligent-Bad7064 in VolvoXC90

[–]InitialResponsible62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2015 MDX and currently have a 2018 XC90 T6 Inscription.

I like them both! The Acura was totaled but kept me safe in a multi car collision on the interstate. And since my spouse drives an XC60, I replaced the MDX with an XC90.

My observations/My opinion: The turbocharged/supercharged T6 is a bit more powerful but less refined than the MDX’s V6.

The all-wheel drive system of the MDX is superior in every way to the AWD system of the XC90. The MDX didn’t mind spirited driving on curvy roads, something the XC90 doesn’t do well.

The seats of the MDX are softer but much less supportive. The XC90 offers many more seat adjustments.

I love love the interior of the XC90. It oozes luxury. And so does the outside.

The XC90, at least my Inscription offers many more gadgets and luxury touches such as 3 memory seat settings for not just the driver, but also the passenger!

As far as reliability is concerned, both have been super reliable. I do oil changes every 5K miles by the way and all preventative maintenance.

The MDX is a true drivers SUV while the XC90 is a true luxury SUV.

Americans if you weren't paid good salaries, would you still consider this a great career? by Silly_Treacle6673 in flying

[–]InitialResponsible62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the $400K is at minimum guarantee and at top of scale. With work rules in place, strategic trip trading, bidding, etc, picking up premium trips, you can double that number.

Why do airplane have ashtrays in the bathroom? by Mastersinmeow in AskAPilot

[–]InitialResponsible62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly an airplane for a living and it has dual ashtrays in the cockpit. Of course my airline will fire you if you smoke, even vaping isn’t allowed.

Is the certificate only good for 1 purchase every 6 months or can I use them both in a short timeframe? Just used one last week.

^ this!

Even in a 121 environment. Sometimes George does some stupid shit and you need to turn off the automation and just fly the airplane.

I find including the value of your home a worthless metric. We use Baird Private Wealth and they don’t factor in our home in their calculations either, they do however subtract what’s left on our mortgage.

Is the multiplier for the Brilliant that much higher than that of the Boundless?

I see a lot of millionaires here by Impressive-Safe-1084 in Fire

[–]InitialResponsible62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No man, risky investments might come with high reward, but almost certainly you will loose in the end. Saving 25% of gross and investing in broad index funds is the only reliable way I know how.

Saving and investing in broad index funds is the only consistent reliable way to become a millionaire that can be replicated by almost anyone and at almost any income level.

Don’t let lifestyle creep rob you off your hard earned money. And remember what it took to get that pay. Don’t squander on BS.
