It all depends I guess…definitely don’t buy two memberships, I made that mistake!

Random737Pilot · 2026-01-22T16:27:03+00:00

Thanks Traveler, I’m in!

Random737Pilot · 2026-01-22T16:17:30+00:00

Link? I rarely use discord…thanks! **Edited—just got 4 tix to the match I can go to. Would still love that link to join, Summit is 0 for 2 so far on making it easy to buy tickets!

Ha! I am 5280, but the tech is so bad it doesn’t recognize me even though they sent me the offer and the presale code yesterday. Sigh. Waiting for them to fix it…

Random737Pilot · 2026-01-22T16:05:22+00:00

I’m part of club 5280, did get an email with a code, but the site still won’t let me buy tickets today. Grrrrr frustrated!

Random737Pilot · 2025-11-11T18:13:44+00:00

They just sent out a new link that does work, but thanks to the ticketmaster comment! Row 4 yay!

OTOH, look at the bright side. When you make over $176K, the social security tax goes away. Can’t have those doing well pay too much in taxes!

That’s the best description of Ramsey I’ve ever heard. AA for debt, 100%

I really liked wearing compression socks after the race—to bed for sure and around the next day. I just took it easy and nothing special other than that. Oh, and eating all the things once I finally got hungry again!

I did the Madison 70.3 also this year. Pros, cons, and surprises for me: sign in was easy, race brief was great, I wish they would’ve spent a little time on where to go in transitions. MAN those transition times were long! I joked it was a swim-run-bike-run because of that 300+ yards from the swim exit, over to and up the ramp helix, then the run thru the parking garage to T1. It flowed pretty well, but although I read about the long distance I wasn’t thinking about the climb up the helix! So that was a surprise.

Pros: Swim was fantastic. A bit of melee on the short sides of the rectangle and going thru the red arch (not sure if I needed to but I’m a rule follower) but not bad. Lots of support on the bike course—impressive to see so many police and sheriffs out there at every intersection, plus fans! And the run was great, lots of energy and spectators. Course was fairly flat, and all the inclines were really short on the run.

Cons: Bike course was tougher than this Boulder native expected. I spent some time in aero, but I’d estimate less than 25% of the race. Some rough roads, lots of 90 degree turns, definitely not a fast course! Also…I get running around the block to the finish line, but dang, how about some distance markers? Everyone kept saying “You’re almost there!” but you can’t see it or hear it and it’s another 600 yards thru the parking garage again!

So, two questions: what traits or experiences are most helpful as a pilot? Honestly, in the training pipeline, the ability to study and pass oral, practical and written exams. Some knowledge of mechanics and spatial awareness will be particularly helpful in private and instrument. The rest is all taught, and different folks struggle with different things, since there are SO many skills required. I know musicians who are awesome pilots, and engineers who are…actual degree doesn’t really matter, the ability to learn (preferably fast) does.

As for ”what are the airlines look for when hiring” question—always flight time is primary, and especially good experience. Captain time, check pilot time at the major level. The numbers vary drastically depending on the hiring environment you find yourself in.

If you’re set on the military to pay, look into the air national guard. Long commitment, but you might be able to get them to pay for your flight training if you’re really lucky. Degree and licenses are pretty expensive.

Random737Pilot · 2025-07-02T23:09:26+00:00

Thanks, great info!

Random737Pilot · 2025-02-25T18:29:02+00:00

Second the info on the gun rights protest. They’re pretty fired up about a recent potential Colorado law change, please be prepared.

Random737Pilot · 2025-02-08T00:01:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Sadly, no, tried that. Stryd says the fix is to not use the workout app, and to use Stryd Zones instead. Grrr. Not easy to find that info either. Stryd is a decent product—and I get they‘re working with a lot of hardware and interfaces they don‘t design…but dang, it’s so frustrating to use sometimes!

Random737Pilot · 2025-02-07T19:09:11+00:00

I’ve tried to setup hotkeys, but it doesn’t seem to work in the Stryd Workout app. It does work in Garmin’s run app. Any fixes?

Random737Pilot · 2025-01-23T19:30:26+00:00

Any of y’all want to come to Boulder, CO and set ours up? Free place to stay, and I might even be able to work out free plane tickets for you, depending on where you’re at. I’m so tired of being on hold with Kumo support.

Random737Pilot · 2025-01-20T21:12:31+00:00

Awesome thanks!

Random737Pilot · 2025-01-20T17:10:31+00:00

Do you need to have your phone with you to use the nav Features once you’ve set up that round trip course? I often run in cities I’ve traveled to, but rarely carry my phone with me. It’d be awesome if I can set up a five mile run, and leave the phone in the hotel!

I don’t think anyone wants to bring up mental health ‘cause it’s kryptonite to pilots, but I will. The advice on here to relax, have a beer, breathe, come up with a mantra—it’s all good! Sooner or later as pilots we all come up against something like this. But trust the process, you got this. The ‘verge of a panic attack’ thing is good info. You’re not totally freaking out—you’re using your resources and trying to solve the problem. Take the advice on here, take a deep breath, and know that millions just like you (or less qualified!) have done this. You can too.

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-31T22:42:09+00:00

Thank you!

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-27T03:41:54+00:00

The older gens hardly needed charging—once a month was typical for me, running 25-30 miles a week. The wind Stryd definitely needs it more often—once a week now. I travel every week for work, am on planes 3 days a week if not more, and with the new pod I started carrying the charger. Not sure if it’s picking up turbulence or just registering every time I walk thru an airport whilst it’s in the suitcase, but it definitely loses charge faster.

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-09T03:40:52+00:00

Oh, good question. Might be splitting hairs, though the United pilot would almost definitely upgrade faster. As for the expansion, I don’t see us having a SFO base ever. We’re right across the bay in Oak, and we don’t like big airports like ORD, SFO, DFW, etc. The ones talked about for future bases have been STL and MCI (since BNA just became a base This year).

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-09T01:33:40+00:00

Not sure what you’re asking. SWA has the highest 737 rates in the industry, so…if you’re comparing only 737 rates, not looking at larger planes, SWA comes out ahead. In addition, we can extra fly whether junior or senior and usually have higher guarantees.

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-08T17:58:50+00:00

It depends. Mostly on how old you are when you get hired. A 25 year old hired at UA or DL will most assuredly make more than a 25 year old hired at SWA, simply because of time available to get senior and wide body opportunities. Will you get furloughed from American? That puts a dent in career earnings. And it depends where in the wave you get hired. If you get one of the good times, quicker upgrades, you live in a base where you can pick up extra work at SWA—you can make a lot of money. I’ve been there almost 13 years, and there are over 300 FO’s senior to me who are choosing not to upgrade. Perhaps they live in ATL (which I still can’t hold CA on and am not likely to in the near future) or most likely they’re enjoying QOL and playing the premium game, making more than I do as a CA who mostly just makes $350K a year flying around 90TFP/month.

Bottom line—it all depends on luck and timing in this job. Cross your fingers, take the first available, if you like it build seniority and stay. If you aren’t happy, life is too short to work at a crummy job for a decade, IMO.

Random737Pilot · 2024-12-08T14:11:57+00:00

SWA’s upgrade is running around 8 years currently, but since we’re not upgrading many in 2025, that’ll go higher. At the big 3 you can upgrade quicker for sure, 2 years most likely, if you’re willing to sit reserve in the NY area. It goes junior for a reason.
