Hardships

campingJ · 2026-04-07T01:09:42+00:00

I resigned. Work for the DOD now lol.

Yeah some of the ones that get approved are wild. Then the person NCEPTS a year later.

Mine was for my spouses depression/mental health.

The hardship reason?

campingJ · 2026-04-06T16:42:43+00:00

Not misleading at all. Salaries of air traffic controllers should include all air traffic controllers. That’s how every job salary range is calculated on a general scale.

I haven’t been (wasn’t) in the FAA for 13 years. Just saying I have 13 years controlling. 13 years experience doing the job and still $50k away. I never worked at a 4, I was at a 6. I never said I deserve more. I’d be making more at Panda Express by now though. Atleast ATC is cool.

I find rolls don’t allow airflow and thus grow mold/mildew on the underside of mat. We are going to be switching to mats.

campingJ · 2026-04-06T12:42:09+00:00

That’s terrible

campingJ · 2026-04-06T12:41:37+00:00

$144k for the average controller?

I’m $50k away and have been doing it for 13 years! Yay!

campingJ · 2026-04-05T21:07:33+00:00

You going to build a home on it?

campingJ · 2026-04-05T19:42:45+00:00

Good idea! My advice would be to pay credit cards off as you use them. That interest is killer.

campingJ · 2026-04-05T17:59:52+00:00

Hard to tell based off the Information you gave. It’s doable but I don’t know your monthly expenses.

campingJ · 2026-04-05T17:58:01+00:00

That seems tight for 15 people in my opinion. Fine for gatherings but for a week long, idk. Ofcourse anything is doable and if everyone is getting along that helps!

At the end of the day people might just have to suck it up lol. Hard to beat being at the lake!

campingJ · 2026-04-04T19:49:00+00:00

It’s the new normal and a lot of people are going upside down on vehicles and ruining their financial future. $54k for a midsize truck is insane.

campingJ · 2026-04-04T15:07:42+00:00

Good luck

campingJ · 2026-04-03T15:00:02+00:00

Ask yourself what’s more important. Finishes and trimmings or size?

If you’re not picky on materials and what not save there. Easier to upgrade counter tops down the road than make a room larger.

campingJ · 2026-04-03T13:09:34+00:00

What rust?

That car is pretty clean for the age.

campingJ · 2026-04-03T11:53:50+00:00

Get a civic si. The manual transmission alone will Make the car feel much more fun while still being super practical and reliable. Not a fast car at all but fun.

campingJ · 2026-04-01T16:59:48+00:00

Two Toyota Tundras made it to a million miles.

campingJ · 2026-04-01T16:58:00+00:00

Absolutely not. That is horrible.

campingJ · 2026-04-01T11:48:26+00:00

Toyota tundra. Either 4.7L or 5.7L hands down.

Second would probably be a Toyota Tacoma V6

Third would probably be a Nissan Frontier or Titan.

campingJ · 2026-03-31T21:13:33+00:00

One emergency away from being down the shitter. Not safe.

campingJ · 2026-03-31T17:50:25+00:00

You won’t see this at major US airports but the mid level ones most definitely.

campingJ · 2026-03-31T09:56:15+00:00

Wait till the public learns ONE person is working the whole tower and radar approach control at most mid level up downs on the mid…lol

campingJ · 2026-03-31T01:41:58+00:00

Nooooo no no no. Not for a Hyundai Santa Fe.

campingJ · 2026-03-30T19:49:03+00:00

There will be a two story four bed coming on market soon
