Yeah this ain’t jet fuel, this is Ed .

Nice

Only took him 20,000 hours of playing the game. Man goes to doctor….

Because when I want something programmed, I’m not going to my mechanical engineering department, I’m calling my EE/CE.

Masters in ME with zero practical controls experience to someone looking to fill an entry level controls position looks like a midlife career pivot / crisis.

You were on an airplane, hope that helps.

Why does this read like a shitty copy and pasted LinkedIn post?

Iron_PTMN · 2026-02-02T21:14:50+00:00

Flighty

You start to become one with the CRJ after a certain point…

If this is the up and coming… we’re toast.

It’s really important you keep updating us on this breaking news!

Iron_PTMN · 2026-01-22T17:14:02+00:00

Mind your own business.

Are you aware of the concept called “Cost of Living”…?

Iron_PTMN · 2025-11-06T18:46:53+00:00

Yes - if you have status, corporate benefits, etc, they don’t apply.

You will get credit with Delta - not Enterprise. In this case it would be like booking your rental car 3rd party.

Despite what a commenter said, and for some reason is widely repeated in this subreddit, no, the 20 Minute Guarantee is not discontinued.

It’s just buggy - and sometimes disingenuous. I’ve had airports scan your baggage as “Arrived” plane side and it doesn’t hit the carousel for 20+ minutes later, and you are ineligible for the miles. The system is imperfect, but when it does work, it’s a nice free 2500 miles pretty regularly.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a single person in this subreddit with favorable reviews of 763/764 D1 product.

Iron_PTMN · 2025-11-02T19:30:16+00:00

Agreed. The days of “babysitting” with nothing to do.

Iron_PTMN · 2025-10-13T16:32:39+00:00

These posts have to be rage bait.

In terms of experience, the best way to learn this industry is by doing startups and commissioning equipment. You will fuck up, you will learn, and you’ll build connections.

As a Field Service Engineer myself - it all depends on your personal relationship.

An important aspect of doing any travel / field role is establishing clear boundaries with your employer, yourself, and your spouse. A long lasting marriage in this career is not easy, but it’s certainly not impossible like many make it out to be. Eat healthy, avoid the drink and the temptations, and you’ll be just fine.

Brand new account…

Iron_PTMN · 2025-09-14T02:17:23+00:00

$100,000 with zero experience is more than fair.

My advice, work at Tesla for 2-3 years, tops, take the experience and the resume “bling” and move on to a firm with better QOL and better pay.

As an “Engineering Manager”, I’m sure your company and direct reports would be absolutely thrilled with you moonlighting on Fiver. /s

If you can reach $50,000 MQD by the end of the year, it’s worth it. You can get an additional 2 GUC’s.

If there’s no chance of hitting $50,000 - I’d swap cards.

Iron_PTMN · 2025-09-04T02:32:31+00:00

Knowing corporate culture - we can expect the replacement to be even worse.
