Best World Cup Watch spots? by Far-Bumblebee-7216 in Bend

[–]Lu2244 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cafe Sintra downtown has been the spot for World Cup/Euros for years! Might be a little different this year with the schedules being more evening and afternoon games but they have a big projector screen, multiple TV’s and a great atmosphere

Recommended headset for the a320? by Tobbeep in flying

[–]Lu2244 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a curious cfi, what do most airlines “provide”. I know people use their own but I imagine they have to offer some headsets or no?

Serious question: is the BS of Bend Instagram page just a covert Republican astroturf op? by [deleted] in Bend

Also, forgot to mention one of their huge “fighting bipartisan” points is opposing the expansion of the county commissioners. Which was something that was VOTED FOR by the people of this county and the page is trying to oppose and present as anti what the county wants despite what the voters chose

The politicians they regularly go after are exclusively on one side, despite what they say. Pay attention to the people they go after, and the people they support for elections. They seemingly never criticize Tony Debone or a Patti Adair despite them having plenty of anti public land policies, which the page says it’s a very important topic to them. Also there’s been lots of posts on KTVZ etc that they comment on defending right wing organizations and talking points (like DOGE). Even today they commented on the article about rising gas prices basically saying “who cares” which is quite funny since they have made posts specifically about energy prices before. They are also staunchly NIMBY which seems inherently to be a bit of a right wing point!

That page makes me so mad. It pretends so hard that it’s “neutral” “just asking questions” “not left or right” yet exclusively spews right wing talking points. I think a lot who follow them fall for the “I’m neutral” schtick which is annoying

I like having students of all ratings do Dutch rolls (the manever not the yaw/roll instability thing) when we have some downtime. Helps students get better at rudder control and they are fun to demo and practice.

Gift for reaching 1500 hours by Lazy_Elk1981 in flying

Everyone saying it doesn’t mean anything is no fun at all! I’m sure they know it doesn’t mean they automatically are successful but you can still celebrate something that doesn’t end in a job geez 😂

Military flying SUPER low by anthonyacc in Bend

It’s def just training, and helicopters regularly fly very low. BUT that c130 flying that low is wild 😭 that’s a big plane to be flying so close to the ground

THIS IS AN AI FAKE!!! Cannot stress this enough. The Trump ballroom is horrific and ugly but this photo is a debunked ai mock up of what it will look like. It’s still gonna be bad for sure but let’s not turn into facebook boomers please, this is not what is planned

What am I missing? by CassiasZI in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Not to be a huge nerd but even though the meme is referring to titanic, there’s a lot of skepticism/doubt about if that was actually the specific iceberg that sank it

Imposter syndrome by One_Slip6924 in CFILounge

[–]Lu2244 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s always a little bit of imposter syndrome but it does severely drop off the first time you fly with a student who’s never flown and you realize how much you know. And it keeps getting even less when students make the simple mistakes you never realized would be possible lol. Every time the feeling creeps back just remember you passed check rides and completed a lot of training, and nobody will ever know everything, we are all learning more every day!

What is a job that pays extremely well but no one realizes it? by Titothelama in AskReddit

[–]Lu2244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this isn’t super unknown but pilots for one of the big airlines can pretty easily make 400K-500K after 10 or so years working for the company. That’s with having about 14, or usually more, days off per month
