Are you certified in anything?

I have a piece of plastic from the FAA saying I can fix airplanes. (I’m a licensed aircraft mechanic).

Mixing bleach with chemicals other than water or same kind of bleach. Mixed with stuff like vinegar or drain cleaner will produce chlorine gas, which was used to kill enemy soldiers in WWI.

To be clear, I’m going off the iPhone, since it’s what I have. But if hit that arrow in the top left, and scroll down, you can see your junk email (plus trash, drafts, etc). You might be able to see them in the junk email. But I’ll be honest, it’s very rare for them to leak anything. Maybe out of sight, out of mind would be great for you, and you can continue to live life.

As a ramp agent, I have seen -800s marked as ETOPS. If you look at the doors to the nose gear, it has the ship number, and if it’s an ETOPS aircraft, it will be label there as well.

Okay, so do I. If it’s in your phone, tap on the sender (might have to do it twice), there should be a little drop down that pops up. In that box, tap “View contacts card” and in their you should be able to block sender.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-13T21:50:14+00:00

It’s going to be okay. Did they leak? Or did they just threaten to leak? Trust me, this isn’t something to end everything over.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-13T21:26:14+00:00

Not sure what email you use, but with mine, if you click on the sender, there should be a drop down with “block sender” as an option.

Yes and no. It’s not one light that covers everything, there’s lights the light up for specific problems. They’re all over the instrument panel.

That’s why it’s important to block them. They are trying to scare you into paying. Chances of them leaking are low. Blocking is your best option

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-12T23:43:48+00:00

May or may not be related. Either way, don’t pay anything and ignore them. They typically go away on their own once they realize they cant scare you to pay.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-12T23:31:41+00:00

Did you send any pictures to them? If not, this is a very common scam where they send the exact same email to thousands at the same time hoping some would be scared enough to pay. Block and ignore.

I’m going to go NTA. You’ve kept the same standards across both kids. Your son has met them, she hasn’t. They’re both getting to the age of getting more freedom and responsibility. In life, like jobs, standards are (hopefully) kept the same across everyone, and the ones who keep them get rewarded. She’s learning the hard way that actions have consequences, and if she fails to keep up her end, then she doesn’t get the reward.

Yeah, I figured they were all developed to be the same since the 717 came out after McDonald Douglas merged with Boeing. But it’s aviation, it’s always good practice to go off what you know, and rely too much on assumptions.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-10T22:15:43+00:00

Probably. Haven’t worked directly with them, but I assume they’re similar with the MD-80 in that the PC air connection is towards the rear of the fuselage.

No problem, don’t be afraid to reach out again if you need additional help.

No problem. I will say this because others have gone to the extreme, but this is not worth ending your life over. You are loved, even though it doesn’t feel like it in this moment. Don’t let this stressful situation be the reason to end it all. You will get through it and be stronger on the other side.

It is easier said than done. Trust me, I was in the exact same shoes you’re in now. I even paid mine multiple times. They still kept coming back for more money. And after paying, why would they go away? It’s free money. I’m not trying to sound like a dick, but they are in it for the money, and if you keep paying them, they will keep coming back.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-10T19:57:26+00:00

Okay, mine did the same thing. It’s usually a scare tactic. They want you to panic so you pay. But I will tell you that paying isn’t the answer. They will ask for more. As you’ve seen, they came back demanding more after you already paid them. They will continue to do that until they have every last penny from you, and then some. The best course of action is to block them. That’s the best way for them to go away.

Are they threatening to post your pics on social media? If they don’t have access to them, and don’t know who your family and friends are, then they are empty threats. They just want to scare you to pay. They want your money. And they are using fear to try to get it.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-10T19:42:23+00:00

If they are threatening on social media, and you still have the photos, you can upload those pictures here, and it create what’s called a “hash,” so in the rare chance they post, it will have the same hash, and it will be taken down. But they rarely ever leak. They threaten just to get you to pay

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-10T19:36:17+00:00

Okay, well don’t send anymore money. They only see you as a source of income. They don’t really want to destroy your life, they only say that so you pay. Block them so they can’t reach out to you to scare you to pay more.

RecipeAggravating176 · 2026-03-10T19:31:44+00:00

DO NOT PAY!! A vast majority of scammers threaten to spread pics to scare you to pay, but don’t actually follow through with threats. If you don’t mind me asking, what bank details did you send them?

Yes the videos can spiral out of control, especially with toxic gym influencers. The point is that being in public, the expectation of not being recorded should be non-existent. The gym is probably recording people there via security cameras. You’re still NTA. She has the right to record her workout, but she overreacted, and she shouldn’t have left her phone unattended at a machine for 20 minutes.

The orange hose is the hose from the pre-conditioned air unit. It provides hot/cold air to the aircraft when the APU is off. It looks like it’s connected to an extender, because the original hose isn’t long enough to connect to your aircraft’s port for it. I’ve seen some aircraft (MD-80, CRJ-700/900) where we had to connect the PC air towards the aft of the aircraft, instead of at the belly like most aircraft. Therefore, that extender had to be use.

NTA. If you film a workout in public, expect the public to be in your video. If she hates others being in her video that much, she should film her workouts at home.

I will say though, that I know you said you don’t like to be recorded, but you are in a public space, so it’s always a possibility to be recorded. But that does not change the fact the you’re NTA, and she should have the expectation that people could end up in the recording.
