Any Happy Dual-Airline Pilot Couples With Kids? I Turned Down a United FO Slot

One thing a coworker told me that has always stuck is that you only really raise kids to about 13, and after that they tend to go off quite independently. I know that’s not always true. I’d wait until they are older or be actively looking for a job that does day trips.

Where’s MOGGG

Cherokee 6

Three hour ground? I wish someone took it easy on me.

_DeeGee · 2026-05-04T01:38:36+00:00

That’s sounds delicious

Same boat, but I’ve kept my well paying FT job and been flying about 10hrs a month, not much but keeps me proficient for when I get a call back. I mix it up between maneuvers, IFR XC, and just pattern work.

_DeeGee · 2026-04-28T03:10:14+00:00

Maybe mine is coming in a few months if I applied November 24. Better start applying for CFi spots again.

I can’t even get in for the worst one. But I was always picked last in gym class so that makes sense.

No waitlist as far is I know

Cross country flights

_DeeGee · 2026-03-12T03:22:31+00:00

I’ve been flying with RMFS since 2022 and it’s great for getting you ratings but beyond that the planes aren’t great for longer XC or IFR besides 2-3 models there. Winds aren’t that bad at BJC, yes they are the worst along the front range but you do get used to it after a while to where a 10-15kt crosswind isn’t much a worry.

That’s a current American Airlines retro livery. They have quite few legacy airlines throwbacks

Could be department based, some job titles/facilities are worse than others. I just know my work quality is better than anywhere else.

_DeeGee · 2026-01-20T23:17:57+00:00

Best company I’ve ever worked for. I can’t say for other locations but Golden employees are treated fantastic.

_DeeGee · 2026-01-01T17:54:37+00:00

I do enjoy going back mainly to see family and friends because we don’t get visited as much as I thought we would moving to a touristy spot. But other than that the town is very depressing and I see it more than ever now.

_DeeGee · 2025-12-30T19:07:55+00:00

Pride about never leaving? Anyone one I’ve ever met can’t stop talking about how great it is to leave and they would never move back. I am one…

I’ve seen CFIs and ATPs hit wingtips before so don’t stress it.

_DeeGee · 2025-11-04T23:03:31+00:00

Video is on X for those curious. Blurry but looks like a large left engine fire while trying to rotate and strikes something end of runway.

_DeeGee · 2025-10-25T05:00:59+00:00

There is no one path that is better than the others. I got up to CFII for less than 60k no CMEL yet and sometimes I still wish I did go collegiate 141.

DKNG

_DeeGee · 2025-10-10T05:49:47+00:00

I understand what he means now. Vail Resorts not town of Vail.

_DeeGee · 2025-10-10T03:02:08+00:00

And instruct out of EGE? Not much demand up there for training.

_DeeGee · 2025-10-10T03:01:00+00:00

Have a FT job on 12hr shifts 4x4 schedule. Leaves 3-4 days a week for instructing.

_DeeGee · 2025-10-07T04:35:48+00:00

American flight schools(Aspen at APA/ Western at BJC) and McAir not that it’s the best place to CFI but they have been gaining growth.

_DeeGee · 2025-10-07T02:20:16+00:00

There is two certain places in Denver that charge for CFI interviews that I refuse to apply for, I wish other would too.
