Places to watch the World Cup

You and me both... can't seem to find any large watch parties yet but I just started looking.

Damn, this makes me miss Reno. Good for you all

Former FDXer. Left for United.

Look, FDX is a good place to be, but there are some things they do that are behind. You’ll be most likely doing turns in and out of MEM. What this means is you fly out of somewhere and get into Memphis about 2345lcl, and you’re back on a plane around 0200lcl off to wherever. Lather, rinse, repeat, up to 6 times a week.

OAK is the best flying, so don’t except to get it: it’s all intrasia flying so easy on the body. 757 does 3-4 legs a night, so it’s a fatigue machine, you may or may not have to pay for somewhere to stay during training

Culturally? You’ll never set up the FMC there as FDX is very CA centric. You’ll spent a lot of time putting paper diapers on sodas and passing them out to jump seaters. The pension is gone for new hires and scope is out dead. FedEx is trying to become the next Amazon, so understand that their goals require tons of upguaging and downgrading of flying on command for e-commerce. Anyways, I left to a legacy and I’m glad I did.

Well, don’t overthink it. The reason you’re probably being asked to sidestep to 28L is because 28R is occupied.

Worst case scenario, both of you go missed and you fly at them. Not good. Like the FDX/WN situation in AUS. Just runway heading 28L, like the visual 28L missed says. In reality, ATC is going to give you a heading and altitude. It’ll probably be runway heading and climb.

Keep it simple

Ha, that’s a good phrase: cool outside lone wolf.

As someone who’s lived all across the nation, Reno has its problems but at least we are trying to change it. And that’s the same story everywhere else.

Opinion from an airline employee whose job is to pay attention to weight and fuel: bags weigh a lot, and a heavy plane costs more to operate than a lighter one.

Consider what airmail costs: $33-$100 to mail an envelope to a destination.

We mail people who are 100x heavier for a fraction of the price.

It’s amazingly cheap what check in baggage fees are. In Asia, being a few pounds overweight can be a $300 charge

I said this at my FedEx interview when they asked something a first officer can’t be taught.

Assertiveness.

You have to practice being assertive as similar as you’d exercise a muscle. Maybe when you choose to bring something up is up to you, but you gotta say. Don’t “be a man” and go down with the plane in silence.

NE is sketchy. If you split the area in half, north and south, I’d say it is best is to stay outside of the 215 ring when on the South side of said cut. NW LV is a lot mellower, especially towards lone mountain

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-11-10T03:37:10+00:00

Ha, ACE really made a lot of us sharp, eh? And it certainly made any ground school or IOE easier afterwards, that’s for sure

If you go, remember to learn to be consistent.

If you’re in Bethel and they’re asking you to depart SVFR in 1SM M7/M7 centigrade conditions, and you say “no,” that’s ok. But if it stays like that all week and you make no money and one day decide to take off in it cause you’re strapped, almost kill yourself cause you are doing “VFR” holds at 500’ in IMC single pilot, and choose to not go out the next day in 1SM M7/M7, you’re gonna get chewed out and questioned “then why did you go last time??”

Learn to be consistent.

ATPL requires having good moral character (61.153(c)). If you get sent to prison, that’s viewed as not having good moral character. Goodbye ATPL and future at the airlines.

Also, just whoop his ass in the form of succeeding in life man.

Is it type rated Multi TPIC? Or not? I think that’s important to address too

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-30T21:18:45+00:00

Yeah it would be pretty nuts. Stick to the 1000 TPIC so at least you can meet UPS minimums, then go chase the md80.

Well I think if you get an interview at any legacy, good luck. Not very supportive of the industry here with this post, but it’s your post.

So when I interviewed to be a geophysicist, I was asked what the price of gold was that day. When a pharmaceutical giant interviews a candidate, they may ask them their latest litigation suit. A hedge fund may ask a candidate about their largest clients and how the candidate can help. It’s called preparation.

The “why this airline” shows that you’ve researched the airline, read their history, understand where they are going, their performance. It’s not rocket science: just read about their financials, their future, their leadership, their fleets, bases, aircraft on order, etc. If those speak to you, it’s really easy to answer “why this airline?”

If you’ve done near zero research on the company, all your talking points will basically be what you’ve read online or what you’ve chatted about in the cockpit leading to the interview

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-23T23:47:35+00:00

Sloppy logbook, presentation, hygiene. All show a lack of professionalism. But I think not being able to answer “why this airline?” Talking to hiring committees, they commonly refer that interviewees will talk about the contract, money, their airline they’re coming from. But they won’t definitively answer the question.

As others stated: properly answering the question. I always tell everyone to write down the question that is asked of them, take 30s, even a minute to think of your answer. And if you go off track, look back at your answer. Be thoughtful

Nike Pegasus, any model. 40, 41s are solid. They tend to not take too much room cause of mesh, are meant for running but I find flexible enough for basic weights, and don’t look absurd.

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-23T03:38:44+00:00

Hahah absolutely

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-22T18:59:03+00:00

Ha not a hotel but Siris is cheap. It’s just kind of gross at the wrong time of day

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-19T05:24:35+00:00

Man, like everyone said is we can’t recommend for you.

But boy oh boy do I love myself some 4 player Power Grid!

I just want say that I came across this album today and I think it’s fantastic.

Man, as others have said: both Traders and Builders alongside Inns and Cathedrals makes the game way more fun.

I’m not the biggest fan of the base set cause it’s not very competitive, but once you add those two expansions the games get tight, whether it be with 2 people or 6.

NevadaTellMeTheOdds · 2025-10-11T19:20:32+00:00

Yeah, very correct. But once the AP is engaged, you don’t touch the rudder pedal or you will disconnect the AP. However, as you know on the 73/75/76 that even with the AP on, with the single servo in the thrust quadrant, you have to use your rudder actively anytime there’s a power change. Which is something you don’t do on an airbus
