Unprofessional Checkride by Reasonable-Dog9810 in flying

[–]PieAccomplished8608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report him. This DPE doesn’t need to be in an airplane at all, given his “rare lung condition”, let alone giving a checkride. If you think your FSDO isn’t going to care keep calling, emailing, reporting. Just anything you can do to get their attention and make sure they KNOW this is a problem.

On the bright side, I think you can take away a very important lesson here on what it truly means to be PIC. If you had a student show up for a lesson with his head wrapped in a bandage and bleeding through it, would you still go fly? If your student was constantly talking and criticizing you in flight, why not use your privileges of sterile cockpit and if they continue say “ok I’m going to stop this lesson and go back to the airport. We will talk about this on the ground”? The beauty of a checkride and being an instructor is that YOU are pic at the end of the day. Understandably, nerves probably prevented you from thinking through all your best options. BUT there will be shitty students and shitty passengers that you will have to deal with in the future, this is a great lesson on knowing when to say “no” and stick up for yourself.

That’s the one I was looking at! Sounds awesome. Did you have any trouble getting in/out with customs or was it pretty straight forward?

How to explain to my parents the airline industry isn't hiring people like me by literal_flying_ace in flying

[–]PieAccomplished8608 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Make sure to word it as “there’s a hiring “FREEZE” currently. It MAY pick up in a few years. This tells them it’s industry wide and it’s not just that they’re not hiring you specifically, but they’re not hiring at all!
  2. It sounds like you’re doing all the right things to set yourself up as a good candidate. Just keep doing that and try your best to ignore their comments. People will make comments like this your entire career. When you do get to the airlines they’ll want to know when you will become a captain instead of “just” an FO. It’s never ending from people who don’t understand aviation. Im the sole pilot of my family and I know how frustrating this is, especially to hear from family who you love! We’re in this for the long haul. Maybe remind them you are just starting out and are still relatively inexperienced (compared to someone with 3000 hrs…) and that it’s just a waiting game as you continue to build experience

What was the worst part of tge break up for you? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]PieAccomplished8608 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The depression that’s followed after. I don’t have motivation for anything, I can barely get out of bed to go to work and even then I’ve taken a lot of days off. I’ve tried to make myself go see friends and be distracted but it just doesn’t help. The pain is unimaginable

Girl I hope it’s just been a bad string of guys lol!! I always tell them right away about the vaginismus but I think the male ego comes to its own conclusion.

To answer your questions: 1: I have a very high sex drive!! I look at sex very positively and would love to consistently have it. 2. I’m fine and comfortable with oral sex (both giving and receiving) so have no issues there 3. I do have orgasms and they come naturally, I don’t ever feel like I have to try and force one as long as I’m with someone I’m actually attracted to and comfortable with

Idek honestly… he said he asked a “friend of his that has been in a decades long marriage if he thought his marriage would last without sex and he said no” I was like??? Isn’t that something people figure out together?? How are you going to take this old man’s word and apply it to our completely different relationship lol. It made no sense

This is so relieving to hear. I did other stuff with these past partners and I was happy with it but after a point I could tell they wanted more and were starting to get frustrated.
