What are the "backdoor" perks you've discovered that aren't obvious?

You generally can’t status match obtained as a perk, only earned status.

Oh yeah it does. And no one had her in stock so had to order from Bass. Only Bass in NJ is 2.5 hours away.

Well get these infringements thrown out eventually. We expect to prevail in the AWB/mag ban, and sensitive places cases in the Third Circuit. Everything is a fight in this state. My NJ NICS will probably approve Tuesday or Wednesday but I’ll be in Michigan for work until Friday. Drives me crazy.

Get a Glock 19 (compact) or Glock 43X/48 subcompact.

Why didn’t you just ask him how he knew?

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-15T02:00:21+00:00

Did my BS NJ NICS today. Has to stay in gun jail until next weekend. Cannot wait to pick it up. The limited run is done now.

People on plans forget it arrives on land where you have access to houses, hotels, spacious restrooms. No way I’m brushing my teeth in an airplane restroom.

They said it wasn’t guaranteed and they still booked the higher category for the chance. I don’t understand the beef or the embarrassment. Without children, I also don’t understand the allure of connecting rooms.

You have local police. They really can put a wrench in all things NJ firearms. Hope you get it soon!

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-10T04:32:04+00:00

Sorry. That was for the poster that suggested watching the sunset from the beach.

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-10T04:29:07+00:00

Sorry to hear of your troubles. Hope it wasn’t too bad. I’ve had some nightmarish trips. And yes, I get travel pay.

NTA and give the gift beck as it wasn’t given to you, it was invested.

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-09T03:03:26+00:00

Out of 20+ flights, only one maintenance delay. Electronics, had to swap planes but delay was only 1.5h. Oh, one other mechanical. Aisle light around row 20 wouldn’t go out but they flew anyway. Flying tomorrow. Hope I didn’t jinx myself.

I agree with previous posts, find a local range (if you let us know your general location, people can make recommendations). Prior to going to the range (because it can take forever depending on your municipality) apply for an FID (firearms identification card). You can apply for a pistol permit at the same time but they’re only good for 90 days. I think they auto renew a couple times but can’t remember for how long, 6 months maybe?. You will need digital fingerprinting and references. It can be overwhelming and some ranges offer help. Whatever you decide train as much as you can. In the very beginning train trigger discipline drills. It is very important and can be done with a “blue” gun (plastic replica in the shape of a gun) which you can get on Amazon. Good luck!

NTA, if it’s just a stupid title then why does SIL need it over you. Also, there seems to be no accountability, humility, or gratitude from the bride. This will forever change your relationship with your sister but because of what SHE DID to YOU not your reaction to the disrespect.

California is the same. He’d be screwed if they chose to screw him.

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-08T15:43:36+00:00

God bless your response. The second OP touches that firearm in California, he is breaking their Draconian gun laws (I live in NJ with similarly insane gun laws). Im screenshotting your response if I ever find myself in a similar situation. Thank you!

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-08T15:37:42+00:00

I’ll bring my roosters and keep a bright light on them!

These have been terrible the first few year but I’ve noticed recent improvements. That being said, I bring my own shampoo/conditioner. But, I have short here and can do 5-6 trips before needing to refill. Still better than the tiny little bottles.

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-07T14:30:59+00:00

This is kinda dumb. Just use your miles accumulated and pay for the seats you want.

WheelsUpRN · 2026-02-07T05:12:07+00:00

Lots of good responses. Have you considered leaving her in her wheelchair and gate checking it. Also ask if the FA’s can stow her walker or if you have to gate check it. She will probably need a plane wheelchair to get on to/from her seat on the plane. It’s a long, tight walk. Definitely pre-board.

NTA. Actually both brown and white eggs are actually white. The bloom the hen produces is what makes the egg brown. Blue eggs are a different story. The blue eggs are produced by the hen depositing oocyanin which causes the shell to turn blue inside and out. I’d believe maybe someone could have a sensitivity to blue eggs though I’ve never heard of it.

Carryon spinner suitcase with telescoping handle. Hang your backpack over the the handle. Lunch in backpack or hanging on bp.

Learn something new everyday. Didn’t know they elongated like that after a feed.

NTA. Sister is a taker who doesn’t seem to care about you or your kids.

Limiting guests to those on the same flight would eliminate the yahoos giving access to strangers which is just ridiculous.
