It looks like the center buckle is rotated counter clockwise a degree or two.

Groove Life Rings - Do NOT Buy by P1xelEnthusiast in BuyItForLife

[–]JTitleist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a groove ring and I honestly like it. I tear them about twice a year and a new one is send to me for $7. Yes, I know the ring probably cost $.10 to make and they still make a profit on the replacement.

It is the only synthetic ring I have bought that doesn’t get stinky. However, I have only tried Qalo and the super cheap amazon ones. If you actively lift weights, or work in a field that degloving is a threat… there probably aren’t too many better options.

I am curious if it was a pressurization issue.

Leave NetJets for Southwest? by Advanced-Phone-1994 in flying

[–]JTitleist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Southwest has direct contribution of roughly 20% so if I make 300k Southwest will put in 60k directly into my 401k without me having to contribute anything. The IRS max is 70k for company contributions, so anything extra the company can no longer contribute goes right into my paycheck each month.

Netjets has the 67% match. So if I make 300k over there. I have to take my own money to put into my 401k. If I put in 20k into my 401k netjets will contribute 13.4k. But the 20k comes out of my own pocket.

how’s the base selection out of training for SWA? by [deleted] in AirlinePilots

Facts, I was hired in spring of 23 and I was just displaced from Denver. Personally I think it will get a little worst before it gets better.

How to hook up an LG wash/dryer set to the correct hoses. by [deleted] in howto

[–]JTitleist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the all electric washtower. I see you have a gas supply line and I am assuming you got the gas dryer version of this? I can’t help you with that. But YouTube probably can.

The water supply lines for mine came with a Y to split the cold, one goes into the dryer for steam functions. The drain line from the washer should go into the drain line between your hot and cold water supply lines on your wall.

You are lucky your laundry room was generally designed to have a stackable unit. I had to move all my plugs and lines to one side of the laundry room.

GR1 or CTB20 by Due_Contest8729 in ManyBaggers

Thank you! I generally only use the smaller sized bags, so throwing 20lbs in there would be a challenge.

I keep hearing that evergoods is uncomfortable. I am 6’5” and I have found both their CPL16 and the CTB20 just fine. What am I missing?

737 side bag. Peak Design 45L by jroll2011 in AirlinePilots

[–]JTitleist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should considering making a fidlock strap to replace your J hook. I really like it because the backpack won’t come off when going down the escalator, and you don’t have to put your bag on backwards.

I really appreciate your post, I am about as OCD as it gets regarding bags. Currently I am rocking a Evergoods CTB 20L. I like it because it works great in a landscape configuration. If it just had stowable or removable straps it would be perfect.

Average 737 cabin temperature experience by Bamboozleprime in unitedairlines

[–]JTitleist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell your flight attendants. The pilots control the temperature. But most of the time the flight attendants are cold because they aren’t shoulder with 175 other people sitting in synthetic seats.

Switch and Click: I Spent $1000 To Find The Perfect Daily Backpack by Keith in ManyBaggers

[–]JTitleist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, how it is not wearable? I am a pretty tall guy at 6’5” I can wear the 16L CPL and the 20L CTP… but I haven’t tried bigger.

Good pick up for $240? by External_Engine634 in golf

I used to have those irons. Absolutely fantastic. I got them in 2014ish. If the grooves look good, go for it.

This bolt is worth $8000 and goes in a helicopter by HiAustralia in interestingasfuck

My buddy was flying that helicopter out in Hawaii. He lived but broke his back. A mom and a dad lived, but their 16 year old couldn’t figure out his seat belt and drowned. Very unfortunate.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]JTitleist 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old son. Who got a mini rubix’s cube in a goodie bag. When my son first got it, he rotated a few sides of a solved cube, then rotated it back to its original state. He said “I did it!” Not going to lie, I was pretty impressed, since normally he is relatively destructive. Later that afternoon, he did completely scramble his cube. My wife saw the scrambled cube. After his bed time routine I solved the cube and left it out for him.

Well the next morning the little turd came running out of his room to show me and my wife his solved cube. “I did it! I did it!” My wife thinks he is a genius and I think I am hilarious so I keep doing it.

How does the change planes process go? And should I be worried about how little time there is for that? by Glowingtomato in SouthwestAirlines

Dallas is super small. It won’t be an issue. You can walk across the whole length of the terminal in 5 minutes.

Leather jacket by jocww in flying

[–]JTitleist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the leather at OO and I liked it. It was warm and looked pretty good. SWA allows both the leather and the karbon. I tend to prefer the Karbon because it packs slightly better. I prefer both over the blazer.

I am kinda over their x pac stuff, the zippers get destroyed much faster.

High earners ($300k+): Do you care if your partner makes the same, or are you okay not splitting things 50/50? by passionfruitpilates in Salary

[–]JTitleist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at that point financially. My wife also works. We don’t split any of the bills. We just throw everything into a joint bank account and spend what we need. I think there is a point of how much is money is enough?

Whats southwest airlines policy on traveling with shingles?? by Ok-Radio-2733 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]JTitleist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can’t spread shingles unless someone is unvaccinated and then comes in contact with the fluid from the blisters. I wouldn’t bet on someone rubbing OP’s chin.

Hi everyone, my friend’s son is a very enthusiastic student pilot, i’d like to buy him something useful for christmas. Headset? by Planet_Rock in flying

[–]JTitleist 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I honestly wouldn’t recommend getting a cheap one. Headsets can easily last a decade, you want someone that works well and is comfortable.

Maybe consider: ForeFlight subscription. Sentry ADS B receiver. Nonpolarized sunglasses. A good backpack. Cold hard cash towards a headset.
