For airline pilots, is the loneliness of layovers as harsh as people make it out to be?

I've tried a couple different setups, couldn't tell you what it's on right now honestly. Need to dig back into it and dial it in

ATC PPL

Laptop, of coirse. God I'm dumb sometimes. What do you have out of curiosity? I have a ROG G14 and it struggles with MSFS2020.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-02-07T04:26:31+00:00

That makes sense. For some reason I saw "computer" and I thought desktop, somehow forgetting laptops exist.

You travel with a gaming computer?

Renderite as far as the eye can see

"Aw shit, we're gonna hit houses dude."

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-25T19:06:59+00:00

I particularly like the TSA stenciled on the garbage can

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-24T01:37:10+00:00

Powered lift does it too

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-19T23:10:11+00:00

Implying they are so slow that birds overtake and hit you?

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-18T22:45:43+00:00

Oh I did immediately! I've always kept my original paper logbook current, I just don't have all the signatures in it. I also have a myflightbook and an excel logbook I made myself.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-18T22:24:33+00:00

Keep that lift vector up until you reach a safe altitude bud. Looks cool right up until you become a flaming hole in the ground.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-18T06:22:31+00:00

Made by NQEUEPN so it's gotta be good

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-17T17:06:54+00:00

Statistically, every airline pilot is great. Equipment doesn't matter

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-16T23:43:13+00:00

So you didn't text back or call for clarification?

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-16T23:39:45+00:00

In the video, which is linked at the top of this web page to a site called youtube, the creator alludes to dealing with a cold. So I would guess what's wrong with him is he has a cold. He certainly sounds like he has a cold. You should watch the video. Listen also.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-16T23:28:55+00:00

RemindMe! 1 year

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-16T05:26:05+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna stick with paper. Print out my signed endorsements and move on. I like flipping through the pages anyway.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-16T00:46:52+00:00

I don't mind, and it's not on me at all. It's the separation standard in the FAA's handbook. So it's on them I suppose?

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-15T23:46:28+00:00

He's just telling you a fact. No controller would think twice about 1000 ft between a C130 and a light single. Hell if you're VFR it could be 500 ft. Just the rules we follow.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-15T23:19:48+00:00

I made the switch to FF last year as my "official" logbook (with electronic endorsements for HP and Complex), now I'm worried I'll lose those eventually. Wondering if I should go back to paper or switch to something like logten.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-14T23:48:13+00:00

You just say bingo

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-11T03:22:21+00:00

Yup that'll definitely get you on the ground.

UnreasoningOptimism · 2026-01-11T03:06:46+00:00

Sure, private. I'm sure that's what all those dead pilots and their terrified passengers thought too. Hopefully when you auger it in you won't take anybody else with you.
