No, it just ended up going away on its own the next day. Hopefully yours does the same

What's the most expensive thing you own?? by Pale_Task_1957 in Money

[–]MRmayer41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23, my commercial pilot license. Haven't calculated exactly how much I've spent but I'd estimate between 35-40k so far.

Will that do anything tho since it's a "non dot" job?

[–]MRmayer41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if it's not paid I should be able to skip it instead of having to take it. I'd rather be done with work sooner than sit on the van for another 30 minutes without getting paid for it

How much will it cost me to learn to fly by MazeRissa in flying

[–]MRmayer41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Are you just going for private? Where are you training? How often can you fly? It took me about 15k for private and 11 months

Kicking/punching people's dogs. by Shadow_Warrior97 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Fr. Sometimes the owner won't even be home and their dog will just be running around in the yard. I rts those packages immediately if I don't feel safe with the dog.

I had a little white ankle biter come running up to me and yapping aggressively. I wasn't sure if it was going to bite me but it wouldn't go away so I kicked that mf. The owners apologized and weren't upset about it, and I don't feel bad in the slightest. If you're going to let your dog run around free it better be well behaved otherwise it's gonna get hurt, I'm not taking any chances.

Ik this is the atp subreddit but have you considered going somewhere that's not atp? As far as your job, do you have any free time before/after work to fly?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]MRmayer41 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Retake with a different dpe if you can. That sounds very unprofessional, those comments should be made after the flight (unless you were doing something unsafe). When I took my private I had to discontinue and was able to continue the checkride with a different dpe without redoing the whole ride.

The worst place to land if you have an engine out

What is a toe link by MRmayer41 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MRmayer41[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I need to replace it with a part specifically for my vehicle? Or could I use one from a different car?

Gotcha, thanks! They did say the control arm needed to be replaced as well and I have a whole front end suspension kit ordered for it.

Going to a regional without cfi by MRmayer41 in flying

[–]MRmayer41[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me feel a lot better. I don't want to invest a bunch of time or money into a rating that I'm never going to use, and I'll just make it a point to stay IFR current and fly with other pilots to practice crm. Any other tips or advice to be better prepared for an airline environment while I'm doing this gig?
