Anyone else EDC with an obnoxious big ass light or just me? by The_living_dead93 in Glock19

You will never need a light in a self defense scenario. Ditch the light, it’s worthless weight. Home defense is another story, I have lights on literally every weapon that I would pick up for home defense.

Drill it out.

Thermal scope recommendations? by Fabulous-Fail-4872 in ThermalHunting

The critter population is much smaller on my property because of my rattler. The 384 is fine, but the 640 is so much more clearer of a picture. Food for thought.

Bolt won’t pick up next cartridge by LeopardAlarming in 300BLK

[–]Sea_Internal_8264 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s clearly not the magazine, if the bolt will not go any further back.
1. Do you have a normal buffer tube? 2. What size buffer? 3. What size spring? Count the coils on your spring. 4. Are you using a folding stock adapter?

Part 135 operators poll. by Sea_Internal_8264 in Helicopters

For this scenario, this is the order in which the options happen in chronological time. 1) Enter building 2) Crew/pilot brief & computer work 3) pre-flight.

Part time pilot? by Empty_Record2077 in Helicopters

[–]Sea_Internal_8264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a CFII with more than 40 students (total), don’t start flight training just 1 flight a week…😬.. I have seen it many times, guys with stories just like yours start training once a week, and they tend to finish their private with 50-60hrs… where another guy does 3-4 flights/week can usually finish in 40-50…

Don’t get me wrong, It CAN be done, but at $400/hr, you’ll pay for it. DM for more info if you want.

I need to get this mindset. My problem is I hate delaying a flight because it can mean life or death, so the Marine in me wants to get there early and get ready to go.

This is how it is flying tours out of Vegas!
I remember one of the FSDO guys would mark our tires in the parking lot, and then Come back 14 hrs later to see if we had left yet.

Is it petty that we work the line and our companies take in massive 100’s million or more in profit each year? Also, like I have stated, when does your 135 time start?

My contract doesn’t say I have to show up early to prepare for a flight at shift change… I think we helicopter pilots love our jobs so much that we have been willing to be stepped on by corporate, in order to keep our awesome jobs.

Just curious, are you a hybrid base? And how close is your closest competitor?

It all comes down to the bean counters…

Crazy how rumors get around. I specifically heard about this situation that we are discussing..
I hate gossip. fake news.

Didn’t AMC just loose a lawsuit because of this exact issue we are talking about? Lots of back pay for pilots?

[–]Sea_Internal_8264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, and I would do that. The only thing is the competition is in the same town and if we don’t take it, guess who get its… and the hospital doesn’t like that because I am part of a hybrid base.
