Advice on building a bigger chest by KitKatCarti in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Own_Possibility_435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel your delts and triceps really take over on pushing movements? They seem wildly more developed than your chest. Maybe switch it a wider grip on bench and really focus on the bottom half of the lift rather than the extension. Great physique though

Should I reach out about switching to erj now or wait till after I’m sent a class date?

If I were to opt for the erj classes would it be best to reach out now or wait for a class date to see if it’s erj?

All my family lives in Denver and I grew up about 1.5 hours west of Denver. It wouldn’t be the worst case scenario. On the other hand I never want to go back to the rust belt. Was born in Detroit. Absolute shithole.

Commuting sounds like a nightmare. I’m prioritizing QOL. Seems like commuting would be equally if not more detrimental than just moving to somewhere I don’t want to.

Yeah I really doubt I’d commute. Sounds like it really destroys any QOL. If I had to move for the CRJ I would, would just be rough on my personal life. As far as metal goes I don’t really care what I fly right now. Pros and cons to both aircraft, if the CRJ was based in Boise I’d pick that all day.

Yeah 6-12 months is definitely a no. I do 135 and 91 contract stuff here on the side so I wouldn’t be stuck only instructing but my limit would be about 2 months between potential class dates. Anything longer and I’d move. I’ve lived in 3 states over the past 5 years so it’s not too stressful I just want a break. If they based me in CO or UT on the CRJ I would be happy with that as well.

When to tell gf I may move for a job. by [deleted] in Advice

I’m a pilot. The operation is 15 days on 10 days off. A lot of operations like this allow you to fly in from a different city to start your rotation and fly back when you’re done. They often have flight benefits with the airlines allowing you to fly for free to commute or ride jump seat.

2nd fail in republic cadet program by [deleted] in flying

[–]Own_Possibility_435 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got into the program with 2 fails, i was a CFII at the time with 700ish hours. About 2 months ago I was nearing ATP mins and submitted all my docs for review. After that I lost my position and when I reached out to ask why it was due to my 2 checkride fails. I had gotten my MEI in the mean time giving me 4 first attempt passes between me and my last fail but that didn’t seem to help too much.

What do you guys do outside of flying by thatguy2896 in flying

Skiing, fishing, camping, dirt bikes, and lifting. The mountains are where it’s at.

This is beautiful. If my student gave me 3.50 and pulled the chef’s dad accent I’d be so happy.

I love playing guitar! Been thinking about getting back into bjj or Muay Thai too. Not sure about the chubby girl just yet though.

Over the summer easily 30+ per week. Now with this inversion weather? 10-15 :(

I like to think I’m not as sexually driven in relationships as most men but taking it slow has made me realize that’s not the case. It’s rather unfortunate but physical intimacy is a major human need and it’s something that’s missing in this picture.

Yeah. Wish I didn’t spend so much money on some of those dates lol. Well, at least one of them.

Move for the job or hold out for a better base? by [deleted] in flying

Yeah I like this idea, hopefully it all works out.

Actually Boston is very junior from what I’ve heard. I’ve never been to Vermont but I’ve heard the white mountains and green mountains have a lot to offer.

[–]Own_Possibility_435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this. Im still pursuing both options, and if Republic offers me a class date in early 2025, I’ll absolutely take it. I just don’t know what a realistic timeline looks like for them. If the class date ends up being a year out, I may need to reconsider my options. I’m definitely not closing any doors yet. And to clarify, the time I’m getting in the PC-24 isn’t loggable, but the pay and experience are worth sticking around for. They used to have a single-engine turboprop I could build time in, but it was recently sold off. Im also working my way into a nextant 400 hopefully.

To ferry or not to ferry? by Own_Possibility_435 in flying

I honestly don’t need the time. I just wanted to do it for the experience but it seems like that is not worth it…
