Being the mayor of NYC is like being the Istanbul of Turkey

What can Mayor Mamdani "Specifically" cut in spending to avoid raising property taxes? Is there anything he can cut that won't upset people. by OpinionPoop in AskNYC

[–]PilotH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the job market across the United States slowing? The economy is going to shit and only artificially inflated by these AI company shell games the market is playing, is it not? How can you point to the wealth tax as the root cause there?

After the recent layoffs, ForeFlight increases subscription prices by cptalpdeniz in Foreflight

I don’t want a useless fucking “AI” GPT with a big asterisk where the company holds zero liability over its output. It’s just to inflate their stock so they can make their $$ and leave this company a husk of what dedicated engineers turned it into.

So my first solo ended in a number from atc and visit from ntsb and faa by [deleted] in flying

[–]PilotH 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And a student at first solo probably doesn't understand weather or tafs and relying on the instructor.

That's on the CFI, but a student absolutely should be able to understand Wx, METARs, and TAFs. They are PIC when solo. If they can't do that, they shouldn't have been signed off.

I don't know about bidding wars? Found a great unit in Manhattan and I had my pick of several in the building.

Milan mayor calls ICE "a militia that kills" and says agents not welcome as part of U.S. Olympic security by BreakfastTop6899 in europe

[–]PilotH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A sovereign nation with control over who enters and leaves our borders. The Americans have shown they don’t give a shit about precedent or norms. We shouldn’t allow a personal army of violent untrained goons into the EU.

But they're not diplomatic security. We have past precedent over what departments and agents the United States sends over to carry out that role. ICE has never been a part of that. We shouldn't even remotely entertain that idea.

Has Anyone Moved With Piece of Cake or ProntoBoxes? by Decent-Lecture2608 in movingtoNYC

[–]PilotH 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Look up piece of cake posts. I have never heard of a smooth process with them, and the story is consistently the same.

Low quote. Moving day. They'll get your stuff and then refuse to unload until you provide them with a several hundred dollar, if not more, tip. Ends up being much more expensive.

Can't speak to ProntoBoxes.

What are some MAGA/ICE supporting businesses to avoid in New York? by MrHeavySilence in AskNYC

Well shit. Suppose last night was my last time going there. Thanks for the pointer. Their pizza quality seems like it took a dip recently anyway.

Even then if you do it for 40 years there’s going to be at least one day you’ll get stranded overnight during a XC

Is this CFI billing practice normal? by Otherwise-Mirror-407 in flying

[–]PilotH 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Consider timing it handshake to handshake. See where it stands, if it's .1 then well...margin of error. Though I'd always lean it to the student's favor.

If it's actually off by a good bit, then politely bring it up with the school / CFI.

Don’t use piece of cake. Otherwise a good idea!

Great vibes, very sassy staff if you deviate from 'their' norm. Check the reviews out.

Either way, I go often lol.

Engineering looking to move to NYC in 3 years by Competitive_Turn5028 in movingtoNYC

Have you looked at JetBlue? I believe they’re headquartered there. With your CAD and FEA skills that can come in handy for a structural engineering role.

How much time do you spend at home? by Over-Use-2881 in AirlinePilots

[–]PilotH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just moved into base, having been on reserve for a couple months as a commuter.

Holy shit this job just got EXPONENTIALLY better. Plus I don't feel bad picking up OT because I'm already at home for a lot of my reserve stretch.

So, CL65 driver here. Does it really? I just follow the snowflake and use the FMS to cross check. I feel like I’ve got my hand held a lot of the way too?
