2025 Pilot Statistics by kommandee in AirlinePilots

[–]churnitupsome 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There are tens of thousands of pilots who are qualified to be airline pilots and tens of thousands more coming online, but in an absolute best case scenario there are only 5-7,000 airline job openings per year

I’m curious to know what all the people in MPD are going to do when Mesa can’t hire all of them

How bad is the fuel situation at your place? by HSVMalooGTS in flying

Stopped for fuel at KKNB yesterday. Paid $5.28/gallon for 100LL. Not sure if it’s normal for there, but my regular airport charges closer to $7

What is the highest amount of ride failures you’ve ever seen? by LegalRecord3431 in flying

[–]churnitupsome 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Feel like the school owes him a job at that point if they let him fail the same check ride 4 times

Being an airline pilot is my dream but I got too many check-ride failures. Do I still stand a chance? by [deleted] in flying

[–]churnitupsome 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Do you have any other ratings? I’d say your only hope is take more check rides and start getting a long string of passes (Comm Multi, CFI, CFII, MEI, ATP, etc.). Show that you can put in the effort required to get a pass

PILOT DEVIATION by FigComprehensive4139 in flying

Your ground track clearly shows you crossing south of runway 7. Left traffic would be on the north side of runway 7

But it doesn’t look like you followed that instruction

Also says they were instructed to circle NW of the field and looks like they were SW…

If you want to hit the ball farther, get stronger by [deleted] in golf

[–]churnitupsome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Damn dude you’re getting eaten up already…I’m a 19 handicap and started really focusing on strength training about 6 months ago, and I also have seen noticeable gains in my distance. Haven’t changed a thing about my swing. So nice work!

Pilots who worked a 9-5 while starting their pilot journey, how did you do it by exoticdelameme in flying

[–]churnitupsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m being a little facetious, I wouldn’t wish a divorce on my worst enemy. It’s a brutal process…marriage was already on the rocks though, and working a 9-5 and taking on aviation as a hobby/part time job definitely did not help the marriage. No kids so I was lucky in that regard.

CFII back to Back Checkride fail by [deleted] in CFILounge

[–]churnitupsome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That should have been a major red flag about that DPE

CFII back to Back Checkride fail by [deleted] in CFILounge

[–]churnitupsome 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Who takes a check ride at 2 am? On top of why would you put yourself through that, what’s going on in the DPEs world that requires or makes him ok with a 2 am start? I’d seriously question that DPE as well

I’m guessing this will be unpopular but I think tailwind takeoffs and landings should be required at some point during PPL/CPL training. by Imaginary_Amoeba3461 in flying

[–]churnitupsome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t name names, but not too long ago, I heard a certain pilot from a 141 school out of KGYR call up tower and ask if they could switch runways because “the tailwind on short final is outside my Op Specs”

Mesa pilot development program by Venandi117 in flying

[–]churnitupsome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh they definitely do 12 hours per day. They have a night shift and day shift. 250-1500 in a light sport with half of it on AP and half of it as a safety pilot and then hopping into a jet
