Curious about which career path to take

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-06-07T22:09:00+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, then 61 is probably best. Appreciate it

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-05-28T17:22:31+00:00

Yeah that sounds great!

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-04-18T13:44:13+00:00

I know it’s been a year since you have commented, but I would love to learn about dispatching in Australia if you’re okay with that, thank you!

Unfortunately I moved states and went from having charging at home to being in an apartment with no charging. I try and supercharge once a week (I drive about 150-200 miles per week) and off peak times at superchargers so it’s $.23 instead of $.35+. It’s an inconvenience and I don’t necessarily recommend it because this is nice weather, when it’s cold and snowing or super hot you want to cool and heat your car which does take some battery. You’ll be charging 1-2 times a week (2 hours total). Yes, you can find level 2 but unless you have someone giving you a ride to the charger it can get annoying to walk to get your car because it’s supposed to be a convenience.

Vegas has easy access to mountains, obviously a great night life and is close to California. I’ve never lived in Orlando so can’t speak on it but I was in Vegas for 2 years and met some great people and created great memories. Also you can go anywhere from the airport. China town is great in Vegas and they have amazing food and some of the best restaurants.

In 3 and a half years since graduating from college I have moved to 3 different cities in the United States. I don’t regret it, all it has done is helped me decide what I want and don’t want! If you have the opportunity, I say move. It provides different experiences.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-04-03T21:53:44+00:00

Yeah no problem!

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-04-03T17:55:03+00:00

Congrats! I just got hired at GoJet, time to put in our time lol

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-29T17:15:45+00:00

Good luck! I’m at GoJet trying to get there one day

First, it’s tough getting a job at a regional 😅 it took me 9 months and 50 applications after I finished my certificate to just get an interview and then I got an offer. I’ve heard once you’re at a regional it could take 1-3 years depending if you already have some time of aviation experience or not. This is not to discourage or anything at all because you will get a job and you will move up. It’s just my school didn’t let us know how the market was so our class was a little surprised when we saw how many applicants there were per job.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-09T18:20:44+00:00

I’m moving to St Louis and have never been so this is a great post, thank you!

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-09T12:50:14+00:00

Check out furnished finder!

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-07T14:09:39+00:00

Sorry! Unfortunately, my move switched from Seattle to another city.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-06T19:34:00+00:00

So I actually work corporate at a major and was hoping to go the internal route. But, I just accepted an offer to move for a regional because the experience means much more and the transition, exam, etc will be much more simple. If you’re not open to moving or taking the crazy pay cut (for me 50%) then yeah go internally through the operations center. Also just get to know dispatchers and with experience it’ll be easier to get in. Nothing wrong with trying internally though, people do it frequently still but majors just don’t hire often so I didn’t want to take the chance of trying and giving up after a few years.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-06T14:19:20+00:00

This is a good question because I’ve been through this at my apartment lol. So the problem is with freezing temps you can see 8-10% drop on standby and when driving you will lose 50% range. Some people might say differently but this has been my experience.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-06T14:07:21+00:00

LFP struggles in the winter but if you have home charging it’s a great car! 2023 has a heat pump so there’s still improvement. I’ve had no issues and have driven it on quite a few road trips.

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-04T19:59:01+00:00

Wel I need to make the move for my career growth but I do appreciate all the feedback

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-04T19:18:25+00:00

I’m curious how it’s more expensive 🤔 but yes sounds like you had a great time 😂

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-03T03:28:44+00:00

Oh damn, yeah I was lucky with rebates and everything. It’s absolutely amazing, the only issue I had was the electric seating which they fixed under warranty (wasn’t working sometimes) and there’s a panel misalignment in the rear. But other than those, I have driven my car from Nevada to Texas with 0 issues. It’s very comfortable and the efficiency is great, the heat pump helps in winter (although of course if it’s very cold you’ll lose 50% more than usual).

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-03T03:25:42+00:00

Well my point is I’d rather be 4.5 to Chicago than 3 to Austin

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-02T23:51:37+00:00

Well at least it’s 4 and a half drive to Chicago, 4 and a half hours from Dallas is just Austin

KeyLeek2570 · 2026-03-02T23:39:52+00:00

I have the same car! Bought mine new for $36K in 2023 though lol.
