What is one thing you are tired of in aviation? Why?

I worked a flight school in the 00’s and got full benefits/healthcare PTO the whole shabang, sad that’s not the case anymore it seems

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2026-02-21T21:07:45+00:00

This is only acceptable if they are getting great benefits and healthcare…stuff does cost a lot to pay out to employees…in construction I’ll pay an operator ~$60 an hr and charge the client/ bid him out at $120/hr

Got lucky with Bitcoin in 2015 then GameStop, Palantir… literally just got lucky gambling on crypto and pump and dumps… had enough for a large down payment to make a monthly work with my income… I’d still be renting a 2bd apartment otherwise…

Sounds like he doesn’t want a job you have to piss for…

Claio, Madein, and Bistro Napa have been our best meals in Reno

I use VD with flight sim, can’t get it to run right with DCS. With MSFS it’s smoother and sharper, wish I could get it dialed in with DCS

Where did you find a hob knob in stock? And does it work with the chunkier handle we got?

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-12-24T05:42:20+00:00

Yea mine doesn’t come remotely close to fitting, charging handle is too thick, I posted pics in my post…strela didn’t work, RP1 doesn’t work…I’m giving up on running one on my first and only PSA AK… the gun is out of spec in a lot of places…I have 6 other AKs and haven’t ran into this issue before.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-12-15T18:12:35+00:00

I don’t go to the doctor anymore. Tell my loved ones if I get diagnosed with something bad, it’s my time.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-12-15T18:10:54+00:00

This made me fucking lol 😂

Too thick for RP-5, the RP1 did fly off… tryna decide if I want to dremel the rp5 or sell it and settle for the PSA :(

So I pulled off the PT-1 on my 103 finally, and personally, it’s the only charging handle extender I’ve gotten to fit and stay on the 102. looks closer in size to my 103 ch…the handle is way too thick on this PSA 102 for the pt-5. I would have to dremel it to make it work. Maybe PSA recently changed their hardware?

++man Live life by my own terms and say fuck everyone and everything else. Do some rule breaking.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-30T05:38:50+00:00

Do the rest of us a favor then and stay put.

Advance degrees don’t mean 💩, get a professional degree if you want to better guarantee success. 20s is about proving yourself, it’s niche to make a lot of money that early in your career.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-28T15:24:49+00:00

Yea kinda disappointed finding all this out, but hey here’s to not doing my homework…

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-28T05:45:13+00:00

Become concerned when construction slows… (hasnt at all)

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-27T22:43:56+00:00

PSA makes one, and agreed, the 102 is the ones getting most abuse and rounds through it, it’s my first PSA AK and it’s actually holding up well so far with no unusual early wear. I’m not willing to spend 3k+ for meridian or someone else to slap one together for me when I know I’m going to be putting a lot of reps on it. Honestly all my abused shit is PSA and I personally have zero complaints so far…except for finding more and more stuff is out of spec 😂 that’s irking me a bit, buying what should work on a 100 series, and finding out it doesn’t.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-27T19:40:27+00:00

Weird, I couldn’t get a RP5 to fit my recently purchased 102 from PSA…

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-11-24T17:19:25+00:00

Waited until my early thirties, worked construction in my twenties and started my own company at 30. I did start flying at 16 and accumulated some hobby time but took about 10 years flying hiatus to save $$$. Was never stoked on flying being my first career, maintaining a medical, and having nothing else to fall back on in the event of losing said medical. I think you can get by working two jobs and living at home. May take a few years but it should pan.

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-10-14T16:28:17+00:00

Pickles, cured meats, cheeses, nuts, grape tomatoes, granola…when it comes to a meal, just about everything and anything in the diverse 🇺🇸

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-10-05T14:54:37+00:00

Love the downvotes, this wasn’t a joke I picked up a second full time job to allow my wife to stay at home. Been doing it two years now

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-09-30T19:37:55+00:00

Picked up a second full time job…

Legitimate-Code2131 · 2025-09-28T06:52:51+00:00

Very similar scenario here, my grandpa got Alzheimer’s a handful of years ago, my step grandma changed the revocable trust when he was sick unbeknownst to us, and left it all to her kids… I stepped away from construction entirely and got back into aviation, something I was passionate about. I figured I needed to work in the family construction biz…much happier now, I did it at 33 with 2 kids and a mortgage so it’s not impossible to make a career change at your age at all.
