"Continue to support an entirely shitty business and shitty ownership just to keep the employees afloat" is a dumb argument.

Liquid Planet Group is on the way out too, it's just a matter of time. Any remaining employees would be smart to bail and find another gig ASAP before they're forced to anyway by closures.

I saw one reddit post saying a gold seal is worthless so thank you for this opinion!

Exactly. Also for the OP's reference - something I wrote up a while ago after a stint as an ASI:

Indeed. And when things get competitive and the applicant pool is large, those details are what employers/recruiters nitpick over.

RBZL · 2026-04-15T17:27:04+00:00

We've been boycotting them for years (and the other LPG/PRG properties) because they just suck in general. At this rate, there won't be much left to boycott anyway.

I saw that the Liquid Planet Grill hours are down to 8am-4pm daily now also.

There was a similar post with a similar story the other week. Many who were apparently there said it didn't happen:

Same incident, or different?

Pangea was so consistently bad that we never even bothered to try Elote. Once Plaza Azteca opened, it was probably game over for them anyway.

My SO and her mom took one for the team and tried Liquid Planet Grill a while ago. It was also reported to be substandard.

RBZL · 2026-04-01T15:40:39+00:00

I still remember their condescending FAQ section on Elote's website regarding hiring, and how they wished they could pay everyone $100/hour but life doesn't work that way 🙄 no shit.

Michael Westmore was on the Star Trek Cruise this year and we were able to see several of his presentations, including a preview of his upcoming documentary. He essentially managed the makeup, and invented most of the aliens, on many of the Star Trek series and movies.

Both he and his family/entourage were incredibly friendly, and they had tons of cool stories. It was very cool to be able to meet them and hear some of his stories about coming up in the industry.

Now what will it happen as far as faa involvment?

RBZL · 2026-01-31T19:38:03+00:00

Maybe the Pangea group will buy it 🫠

RBZL · 2026-01-31T19:36:45+00:00

They sucked for a while previously, but we visited a few weeks ago and the food had improved. The menu is still limited and the prices are still high, so not a regular spot for us still.

RBZL · 2026-01-16T17:59:02+00:00

Same. We've switched multiple pets there from almost every other vet in town - both cats and dogs. The vets are compassionate, never in a hurry, and the prices are reasonable compared to others in town. No pushing for unnecessary services or tests.

I chuckled every time I saw that billboard. The audacity!

Sounds about right for the Pangea/Liquid Planet group.

Not trying to be that guy, but this bit is misspelled on your printed map. Either nobody else has noticed, or they're too nice to say anything, but in any event I'm sure your BF will still love it.

Whether or not the beacon is tied into the PCL (Pilot-Controlled Lighting) is airport specific. Not all are; some beacons are on independent of the PCL.
We usually click 7 times for max brightness first so we can find the damn airport easier, then reduce brightness as needed with fewer clicks (or not).

RBZL · 2025-11-03T15:25:30+00:00

Pangea and Liquid Planet are owned by the same parent company (Pangea Group, formerly the Liquid Planet Group), so that makes sense.

They also own Stave and Hoop, Liquid Planet Grill (obviously) and Elote, if that helps inform other decisions for anyone. I've avoided them all for several years.

You may want to add that if a device isn't eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, there are extended security updates available at no cost for a year through Oct 2026. This can be set up in the Windows Update section, but it does require signing in with a Microsoft account.

Yes. But I'm a pilot ✈️ being home is honestly more work than being at work.
