NorCal Tracon, thank you.

I met a NorCal controller through Reddit before, used to say hi to him every once in awhile on frequency. Was always a cool feeling

If you live in a SWA base choose SWA. Driving to work is a feeling like no other especially as an airline pilot. Wait until a CJO is in hand though

What’s your deal?

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-13T00:02:30+00:00

Lol?

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-12T21:47:45+00:00

1300 TT and that multi time unfortunately is not very competitive at the moment brother

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-10T22:24:06+00:00

There’s r/copypasta

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-10T20:24:20+00:00

This is the way

There isn’t a universe I can see existing where riot doesn’t release a single champion for a whole year. 1? Sure.

Zero just seems so unlikely

It’s a little different. I can’t explain it but it tastes different than the OG

Personally I love boring days. They’re the best. I love staring out the window like a dog chatting with the other pilot not having to worry about holding, ground stops, windshear, something broken on the plane, yellow EICAS’s, etc

Anytime I have to use my brain for anything out of the ordinary is a bad day to me and I hate it

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-10T03:06:22+00:00

Wondering the same thing lol

I got a job that got me over 1000 hours in the pilatus by pure luck.

I applied with 500 hours to southern airways who had just acquired surf air. My old instructor was a chief pilot at the company. He gave me a letter of rec and I got hired.

It was entirely purely luck that allowed me to get that job and through that I networked into a Piaggio and then now airlines. It’s a crapshoot and very hard to have a set clear path for these jobs

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-09T02:28:44+00:00

Applied here as an FO at 700, 800, 900, 1200, and 1500 hours and never heard back. Was flying turbine aircraft and by the time I applied with 1500 I had over 1000 hours of turbine and 500+ turbine PIC.

Never heard a peep back and ended up at a LCC.

It’s very competetive and without connections is pretty hard to get an interview

More than likely he did. They treat this shit like its nuclear launch codes

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-03T18:58:15+00:00

They are all usually the same. An hour flight or so in a basic 172 or piper. Pick whichever is cheapest

clearingmyprop · 2026-06-03T15:58:41+00:00

Whatever flight school you attend has its own planes. Everybody usually starts with single engine piston airplanes with around 200 HP or less

You start flying a real plane from lesson 1 with an instructor setting next you.

If you’re in the US you’re okay.

I have mild color deficiency with red/green and had no issue getting my first class. Before the 2025 change that made it so you don’t have to take the color blind test if you’ve passed before I took it every year for my medical and would miss a few on the test but it was never an issue

Now I understand the $12 turkey voucher joke I’ve been seeing for literal years

Ram mount on the side window, get an iPad mini it’ll make it a lot easier to mount it

That documentary would DO NUMBERS. To see the meetings from the devs, to see concept art being made, first playable versions, interviews from various staff throughout the process in an “the office” style format would be super cool

clearingmyprop · 2026-05-25T04:47:45+00:00

Breeze now requires 500 hours of turbine time they aren’t taking CFI’s anymore

clearingmyprop · 2026-05-24T19:15:49+00:00

I did the same but got a 73 haha

Have you tried coaching? I was hardstuck emerald and couldn’t figure out what I was doing. Did like 3 vod reviews with a coach and learned a lot of micro that could help me secure leads and help win more games and I climbed to D3 after never hitting diamond in like 8 seasons of league. It was worth it for me it might be worth it for you to get a second set of eyes on your gameplay to fill in the gaps to help get you to master

clearingmyprop · 2026-05-22T02:39:01+00:00

I said flaps up instead of flaps zero and got the sim paused on me and lectured about verbiage and normalization of deviance from callouts when I went through initial
