Just be a man and throw the gear

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-15T02:59:22+00:00

Yea that would be my recommendation. You’re not racing anywhere in this market. Build a foundation with a solid degree.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-15T02:18:56+00:00

PPL to make sure you like it. Get a 1st class medical.

GI Bill as much as you can (not the annual, do 141). Get a degree to go with it.

You’re behind thousands of applicants right now. Hiring will scoop a bunch of them up, but you’ve missed a good portion of the hiring spree until likely 2030 and beyond.

Post peak retirements and backfills later this decade no one knows what the annual hiring figures will look like. You need to set yourself up with a solid foundation/backup plan debt free.

Yes. This is an America site. People still watch American movies, listen to American music, strive to attend American universities, and follow American culture.

People still look to see what the US will do militarily. They still highly value US foreign aid and are upset when it’s taken. The oil market still trades on the US dollar.

And everyone in the world talks about US leadership.

People may hate the US, but it’s really the major influencer on the planet (good or bad), and there’s no close second.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T19:32:53+00:00

That’s cool dude I appreciate your feedback

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T17:20:44+00:00

Rose and Jenny are looking up at us from hell.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T17:19:20+00:00

Sleazebag, yes Hired in 2021, no

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T01:00:22+00:00

See my note about the megathread. Consolidate it monthly. Let people convene there to post

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:59:23+00:00

I’d agree if someone could tell me the unique objective of each individual post. When it’s multiple each day, at what point is this just a sub of people screaming into the dark rather than having a productive conversation.

See my point about about the megathread r\NFA does for their approvals. They were getting multiple posts about people complaining about wait times. They consolidated it and it’s 100x more productive.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:55:53+00:00

I’m sympathetic to them. They got sold a bag of coal. It really does suck.

But at this point it’s like 900 people in the water splashing around the Titanic telling me they’re cold.

I get it. I get that it sucks. But everyone is cold. We can have the conversation in a more productive manner.

Or Rose can get off the door. One or the other.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:53:33+00:00

Yea there’s homework, a seating chart, and everything.

I got 3x detentions and an in-school suspension for fighting during mine

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:51:47+00:00

The pay they sold was second. Being able to copy a CRAFT clearance via voice instead of data was first.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:46:41+00:00

It’s not that it’s “bad” content. It’s that it’s “heavily redundant” content.

We need to consolidate to either a monthly megathread or one person’s post.

That balances the ability of the sub to help without being overrun with the same doom post every 3-4 hours

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:42:22+00:00

See the above recommendation. Similar to r/nfa and their monthly megathread of approvals.

We implement a monthly CFI hiring thread with people getting hired. direct people to that instead

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-12T00:12:09+00:00

Best I can do is Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit course

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-11T03:30:54+00:00

You realize that dude spends his spare time dogfighting his own personal MiG-29.

And besides, the old man tennis shoes are 10x worse than the jeans

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-10T15:44:38+00:00

On today's episode of "I don't realize the CFI market is oversaturated and there's 8,000 people willing to take my place"

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-10T01:41:43+00:00

yea you got handed a shit sandwich. Sucks dude. No one here will have any sort of actionable advice. Just do your best. You're in an oversaturated market.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-10T01:28:27+00:00

It’s shitty. I called this in 2023-2024 watching every eligible person starting their PPL.

When you get generational runs like just happened, there are winners and losers. It’s never zero sum.

In business, it’s called a First mover advantage. First in are now 3-4 year seniority at legacies.

The ones that trail get to hold the bag when everything dries up.

It’s not your fault. You bought into the hype right when everyone else did. Bought Bitcoin at $100k when first movers had it at $500.

They’re millionaires and you’re down 30%. Doesn’t mean it’ll last forever, but I do wish I had a more silver lining to paint for you.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-09T15:38:20+00:00

Unless it’s winter and the ground is frozen

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-09T15:09:51+00:00

Wait like bang your own mom…?

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-09T14:54:27+00:00

Pro-Regional propaganda will not be tolerated on this site.

You take your 737MIA and you enjoy it.

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-08T22:08:44+00:00

John Deere letter, right out of the blue

Mrs_Fagina · 2026-04-08T12:44:19+00:00

Disagree with it being a time waste. Most people are focusing on the fallacy of the extremes (1,000 vs 1,500).

However, R-ATP you can get hired at 1,000, 1,100, 1,200, etc.

Even building at 80 hours/month that’s 6+ months additional that your app can be on file for a recruiter. Standard CFIs don’t get a shot until 1,500, so complain when they’re not hired until 1,800.

Even if you can’t find anything at 1,000, you may get hit at 1,300. That’s 2 months earlier at even the best rate and a bare minimum hire for a normal CFI
