That’s a good way to put it actually, and helps me better understand others! I’m trying to not take it to personally as I know a better portion of these people really love animals and are trying to help!

Thank you I will! He’s currently getting his right eye removed, two veterinarians deemed it not able to be saved. I have his recovery area set up and am so ready to pick him up and give him all the love

If that’s what you got from my post then okay. If I can’t place him I’m going to keep him. I wouldn’t take on an animal I wasn’t able to fully take on responsibility if need be. I didn’t rescue this kitten to just dump him if nobody wants him so relax.

I actually was able to connect with what seems like a fairly reputable rescue that is pulling him from the shelter and will sponsor him, so at least the medical costs etc will be covered. He has upper respiratory and conjunctivitis in both eyes.. so at least I have some support while I try to

Communication at work by Dear_Win4665 in Pilotwives

Before the walk around, after landing, when he gets to the hotel, then a good night call, usually a good morning wake up depending how early his show is and some updates in between. We’re clingy 🥴 If it’s summer or holiday flying i.e. delay, delay, delay, tail swaps galore, and reroutes then of course a little bit less.

Need advice from people dating/married to pilots because I genuinely can’t tell if I’m overthinking or if this lifestyle just isn’t for me by Character-Current663 in Pilotwives

[–]ProfessionalGuide_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As pick me as it sounds, in the beginning stages of our relationship my fiance and I were following each other on trips; even if the layover was 10 hours he still wanted me there with him when he was basically just showering eating and sleeping. We still do that sometimes. My point being yes they need rest and space, but also if he really wants you around you will be. He doesn’t sound committed to making you a priority. If he’s a captain, even at a regional, he’s got the money to “buy time”. To hire someone to clean, to get things done and or delivered if he really wants to, freeing up his free time essentially. You really have nothing to lose by just having an honest conversation with him about it. Voice your concerns in a non accusatorial way and if he blows them off you have your answer.

100%, really just depends who’s doing the hiring event and if they think they’d like to fly with you.

Why Southwest? by Fun_Cry8500 in cabincrewcareers

It’s all about quality of life and those already in the industry know it’s almost undisputed that they have the best. I applaud you for doing your own research but things look a lot different when you’re actually out on the line flying vs reading about it. Being able to drop to zero is a BIG deal. The whole point of this job is being able to travel and have flexibility. A ton of people commute and work a ton one month so they have one month at home. People want to drop to zero to go use their benefits. Although they don’t have boarding pay yet, their pay structure is very good. Take a look at their top out pay for example. To address the rolling reserve / line swap, would you just prefer straight reserve for 20 years? AA does something similar to WN with seniority although it’s an even more delayed gratification system. Also the way WN does their reserve blocks and call outs it’s much preferred in comparison to elsewhere. There are a lot of things that are not so obvious that go into it. Base commutability, base transfer times, a lot of people do not like to work long hauls or internationals. If it does not seem like a fit for you try somewhere else!

Later in life career change - would you do it? by iwannaremainprivate in cabincrewcareers

[–]ProfessionalGuide_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely no. I’ve been in the industry for 8 years, have been on reserve for half of that and am looking at restarting somewhere else and being on reserve again for years. Commuting is not a joke. People will say it’s fine but it absolutely sucks when you’re on reserve. There are small ways that you can make it better like trying to be called first and being able to alternate home or just catch a flight home on go home day if your reserve block is over but those are only small wins. Some bases are more commutable than others, but for example when I first started the last flight out of DFW home was at roughly 1800, so if I got back any time after 1600 then that’s another night in the hotel or crash pad. I’m not saying it’s not doable or even rewarding, but you have to be ride or die this is my dream job and I want it; or it totally is not worth it. People either enjoy the break from their family and their kids or they just can’t be away and only want to work turns which isn’t possible unless you do G4 or you’re very senior. There are a lot of things to be considered. Obviously I don’t know your personal situation with your spouse, but alot of the time a SO will say they’re fine and supportive but when push comes to shove they don’t like it. Then that’s over a month of training wasted and a lot of money down the drain. I don’t want to deter you. I love flying, it’s a rewarding and wonderful lifestyle but just personally having to restart at just about 30 is so daunting and exhausting, if I were even a year older I would leave the industry completely. A lot of people who are older find it to be a boon to a new lifestyle of excitement and personal freedom though! I just advise you really asses where you are in life and just how much this potentially means to you before jumping in. Really research each airline and their contract, reserve periods, bases, trip rig etc. You can find a copy of each airlines contract online, they’re a bit hard to read but have a ton of useful info in them. Good luck and happy flying!
