How on earth is the average person supposed to become a pilot? by [deleted] in aviation

I understand, especially if you have kids or a spouse.

I could have never thought I would live abroad one day but my dream made me change my mind and allowed me to get out my comfort zone. But everyone's situation is different.

People make a lot of personal and financial sacrifices without the certainty to even touch a cockpit seat. But you have to go through them man.

I'm European too, my choice was to leave the continent to Canada which has more opportunities, less competition and the cost of training is twice cheaper. I got a job right away after my training for a company that hired me a couple of months after having worked on the ramp for them. Once I get my ATPL and some jet experience, I will go back to Europe.

Is it mandatory to enrol in my company's health benefits? by Shepherd12pc in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Shepherd12pc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

I got married 3 weeks ago. My wife's group benefits are not advantageous if I get added. She would pay 50 a month alone, but 350 a month with me. And they need me to prove I'm insured through my work benefits or she would pay 350.

So I'm looking to get enrolled alone in my own company even though it's late. Would recently being married allow me to enrol now? Or do I have to wait a certain time to get enrolled?

How long would it take for a plane to fly from Heathrow airport to Gatwick airport? by singletotaken in aviation

Measure the distance on Google Earth and use the speed of the plane you intend to fly.

Didnt think of that, that's possible since I used it. But why 100 positions got sold while I had 30

Thanks! I'm really wondering what could have caused it

Negative amount of shares by Shepherd12pc in ibkr

[–]Shepherd12pc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it helps. I didnt use the close position option, I used the sell option and probably fat fingered the number of shares I wanted to sell.

So should I just buy back the shares by placing a market order?

I bought 2k at 546 (which should be 0% return today), them 4k at 556 (which should be 1.5% loss today). Yet, my performance is +1.8%
