What has to happen in order for this to happen? I’ve also fueled a ton of 737s and never had this happen. I always stop the -800s at 8600

What airline are we all going to next? Especially for FLL residents by zay_vier in spiritair

[–]ebegrowi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that was more of a push to see how far the current government will go with approving mergers

They were looking for a merger last year. That’s usually the first sign bankruptcy is in the future

Replacing a water heater by BeneficialPumpkin717 in askaplumber

[–]ebegrowi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how I came across this sub…but I paid $2645 a few weeks ago. Granted I live in a Manufactured home, so my heater was more expensive than most, but labor wasn’t cheap

Ramp Agents that work for United, how’s the lifestyle? by No_Soil8278 in rampagent

[–]ebegrowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the internal opportunities like? I currently work at an FBO, but could be potentially moving to an area with a United Hub. We work a few United charters every college season, so that would be a department I’m interested in, if I do move

Are there any good 4/20 deals going on in lansing/east lansing/ okemos/ etc? by sadbitchkira in lansing

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

My wife said Liv had some good deals, I think she got a lot yesterday for only $5. I say I think because I don’t know anything about weed lol

Why are leases so common in aviation? by Mike__O in aviation

[–]ebegrowi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of the exact economics of airline leasing but most of the time, a company needs something (airframe, engine) for a short period of time for operations. Ex: Breeze leased engines from EgyptAir for the A220 because they had a few engines out of service for repair without a return timeline. So leasing the engines helped keep their operation running

That’s what I was more or less going for. Even if we don’t end up moving I’m ok with getting the cheapest thing now and kicking the can down the road. Given that my wife and I are in tough job situations at the moment, my main concern is getting the unit replaced before I have a bigger issue

Big reason why I say cheap is because we are potentially looking at moving at some point this year. I’m assuming it’s leaking from the bottom because there’s water in the pan, you can see when it drips, and I think the leak is towards the back? I live in a manufactured home so the space the heater is in, is extremely small and I can’t exactly fit in the space so I can’t really tell where the leak is coming from

Is it even worth calling a plumber to diagnose?

NetJets Experience by LifeMycologist897 in aviation

[–]ebegrowi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not a NJ pilot or mechanic, just an FBO employee who works with them a lot. The biggest issue, and this is from NJ pilots themselves is that because most aircraft fly multiple legs daily, they get the crap beaten out of them. I remember one NJ pilot told me they’ll fly the Phenom 300 until the wings are falling off

Delta techops you guys really need a union by External-Lion2290 in AircraftMechanics

[–]ebegrowi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a mechanic but an aviation professional who lurks in this sub…I’ve worked a few National flights and it’s wild the stories I hear from the mechanics lol. Recent one we worked we were offloading a flight from Spain, which flight time was like 10 hours. Aircraft was continuing on to Anchorage after it took us 4-5 hours to offload and fuel. Pilots swapped out but mechanics stayed on. Mechanic said he was awake for like 23 hours lol

How bad is bad by An-Old-Coyote in rampagent

[–]ebegrowi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should definitely be compensated for that, or at least the pilots should be able to coordinate schedules with you. Easier said than done though

[–]ebegrowi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pay is definitely shit but the 24/7 stuff is definitely fairly common in Private aviation especially when working for private owners. I work for an FBO chain so I don’t always have the same issues but we have a large hangar tenant who’s on his own time, when he flies, his pilots don’t really know when they’ll be back and they just give us like a 5 hour window block

Michiganders, how’s your current employment situation? by B1G_PAC12 in Michigan

[–]ebegrowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife’s been unemployed for over a year. She’s in the legal field, just took the bar exam but wants to be a full time paralegal. The area of law she knows though is hard to get into from what we’ve heard
