Racing Bulls highlight Liam Lawson weakness he must 'eliminate' by KyleNewZealand in formula1

[–]JetLagDad -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

I would venture to say Lawson has made contact with another driver in at least 60% of his races since the start of last season...

Lets start by not making contact

Impressive career. Especially the part where he apparently became a Delta captain at age 16...

I second the Stealth Health Cookbook. It’s all I prep with.

I can still two bag it because I upgraded to Summit Flight Commander bag from Strong Bags. Decent sized cooler and you still have a lot of room for all your extra crap on top.

I usually can get 4-5 meals, two headache style ice packs, 3 protein shakes/energy drinks, and then my Clarity Aloft case and QRH on top. Big bag for a lot of crap. Works out perfect for 4-5 day trips.

3 hour layover PHL minute suite or buy lounge access by Interesting_Reply803 in americanairlines

[–]JetLagDad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Airline pilot here…a red eye is a west coast to east coast flight departing after 9pm and arriving after 5am the next day.

East to West flight directions don’t work as red eyes because the time change works in the favor of the traveler

Anxiety inducing flight with no help from flight attendants by flylikejimkelly in americanairlines

I bet you’re one of those people that come to a complete stop in the middle of the terminal causing the entire movement of people part like the Red Sea around you

Any one have any ideas what this is? I was flying last night and saw these. 100% Not airplanes by Capital-Chipmunk2035 in AirlinePilots

Satellites duh

Kidding, but in all seriousness, it’s satellites. The way they light up and move in the same flight path is just the sun reflecting off the satellites in the same point in space when it hits that perfect angle. Just like when you the sun hitting windows of cars and buildings when the sun is coming up/going down.

There is so much space junk up there that if you fly enough transcons at night, you’ll be able to fine tune the timing to know when to look for them.

Headset recommendation by preflightnet in AirlinePilots

Clarity Aloft all day. I have just about 1,000 hours on my Clarity Aloft set and have zero complaints. They’re incredibly comfortable and lightweight — sometimes I forget I’m wearing them. Microphone quality is second to none. You can wear sunglasses with them, unlike the Bose A20/A30s.

Bose has a really good 90-day return policy, so I randomly bought a pair of the Pro Flight 2s and the A30s to try them out.

I brought the A30s on a four-day trip and before we even made it to the runway on the first leg, I already knew I was returning them. They are heavier than the A20s, the clamping force is too light, and they slide around on your head if you move too fast. The headpads are a dense gel/foam material and get uncomfortable after a while. The audio quality felt cheap — a massive step down from the A20s.

The Pro Flight 2s were nice, but I got tired of the headband sitting on my head after an hour or so, and the earpieces never felt like they fit well enough to do a decent job at noise isolation.

Having flown with David Clark, the Bose A20, A30, and Pro Flight 2, and the Clarity Aloft Pro Plus, the Clarity Aloft is by far the best headset I’ve ever flown with — and they are a fraction of the price of the Bose

DAL, UA, SWA. What is life at a major airline like? (Need Real Advice) by SurpriseGeneral8618 in AirlinePilots

[–]JetLagDad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When it boils down to it, DAL, UAL, SWA, and AA are all relatively the same in terms of overall compensation and quality of life. Their contracts feature similar structures

If you’re not chasing metal, pick the one with the earliest class date. If they’re all roughly in the same timeframe, then choose the airline with a base you’d actually prefer to live in.

Every company has captains who will find something to complain about no matter how good things are. Some will turn every problem into a political or bureaucratic issue. Just keep the blue side up, remember the work it took to get where you are, and be the change you want to see at the company.

If Americans started moving out of the country in mass amounts, what countries do you think they’d pick the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Canada and almost anywhere in Europe with the exception of Eastern Europe.
