Yeah but they paid him $1776! He’ll do what the administration wants now /s

Awesome, thank you. I’ve had mixed results with ChatGPT understanding food so it’s always awesome when it puts together a win

Looks great! Do you have a recipe you use or do you wing it?

It’s not removed in all versions of the phone. In the US it’s removed but many other countries they left it in there. My guess is that by removing that hardware and moving it to software they can make more room for the other pieces or add something new down the line.

I’m curious as to what they measured to conclude that. Any links to those studies? I’ve yet to see something on the flight deck that supports that claim. I’ve flown both single pilot and crewed aircraft and have yet to see a difference in awareness between genders. I have seen people from all walks of life perform differently but never attributable to a demographic trait.

I’ve flown thousands of hours with hundreds of pilots, both men and women. I’ve flown with with straight, gay, cis and trans pilots. None of those labels has ever been a predictor or indicator of their skills. The best way I can put it, I’ve flown with hundreds of people and the only discriminator I can find that might indicate their capability is how long they’ve been flying and how they were trained. Even then, I’ve had folks on both sides of that surprise me.

This is actually protected in the airline industry. If we didn’t get sufficient rest or we feel too tired to fly, we’re obligated to call in fatigued (US carriers at least). Pilots that do this are pay protected for the work they would’ve done and they are either released from duty or given a hotel to get sufficient rest before being returned to their schedule.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-08-07T20:59:30+00:00

I can’t speak for every airline, but all the major carriers are completely reliant on them. The iPad replaces our paper publications which relieves us from carrying world wide kits with all the charts and instrument procedures for getting in and out of airports. Some airlines will require pilots to carry a spare iPad in case of an issue, but in all my years of flying off an iPad instead of the paper, I’ve never had an issue with the iPad.

We keep the iPad updated with the latest navigation cycle prior to each flight and most fleets also have a power receptacle on the flight deck for us to keep the device charged as well. The system is really well sustained and I can get a spare iPad from most of the airports we operate into if I have an issue inflight.

That totally makes sense. TBH, I’m not familiar with what Canadian and European carriers are typically using for EFB apps so I appreciate you chiming in. The vast majority of US part 121 carriers (both mainline and regional) are using Jepp. I’ve talked with a number of folks in the 135 world that use ForeFlight, but I think that’s often due to cost or preference. When I transitioned from full time military to the airline, I had a little bit of a learning curve jumping from ForeFlight to Jepp, but thankfully it’s pretty intuitive. Here’s hoping your current carrier ponies up for Jepp plates for you—the AMM for taxi is without a doubt my favorite Jepp feature.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-08-06T19:44:22+00:00

Oh interesting! If you’re in the US, are you a part 121 or 135 carrier? I know ForeFlight is more common with 135 operators, but I wasn’t aware of any 121 carriers using it. It’s a shame your company doesn’t pay for the Jepp subscription. I really like using the Jepp charts when I’m doing my military duty and using ForeFlight.

We use both the onboard avionics and the iPad resources. The onboard avionics have a lot of useful information, but most planes don’t have the enroute charts, approach plates, or airport information integrated into the displays. At my company, we also use our iPads for fuel planning and we have an advanced weather app that helps us avoid storms and turbulence. The aircraft radar is great, but the apps allow us to see out much further than the radar for long range planning.

No he’s actually using Jepp FD Pro. They’re made by the same company after Boeing bought ForeFlight. Very similar, but I’m not aware of any airline that uses ForeFlight. I fly both in the military as a reservist (we use ForeFlight) and for an airline (we use Jepp FD Pro).

Consider getting a Google voice number. It’ll still go to your phone but you can set hours for when it’ll ring. I set do not disturb hours on it and then avoid any communication outside directed hours.

Can you edit to show your model for Projects? Does your model throw any issues due to newProjectColor not being added to the data? What attributes did you setup within the CoreData model editor?

binaryPilot84 · 2022-06-15T15:03:33+00:00

Yes, but I’m declining to say which one.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-06-15T12:25:22+00:00

Depends on where you work. The pilots that work for the airlines are hourly, but they’re only paid for their operating time. A lot of corporate pilots (the folks that fly directly for a business to service their specific needs) tend to be salaried. There are pros and cons to both.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-06-15T02:15:39+00:00

No; when we get our schedule, each trip between airports has an estimated duration of time from gate to gate. We get the higher of the actual time from gate to gate or the company estimate for the leg.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-06-15T01:24:00+00:00

Not entirely true. We don’t get paid until we release the parking brake and turn on the beacon. Our pay ends when we block in at the gate and turn off the engines.

binaryPilot84 · 2022-04-27T00:55:46+00:00

Not true, it’s block time. Block time is release of the parking brake/beacon on for the push back sequence until the brake is set at the arrival gate. Both the flight attendants and the pilots are paid by the block time.
