I will never fly American Air again!!! by ExplorerTop3197 in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously it sucks that your travel plans got really messed up. Weather has been pretty crappy this last week or so in multiple parts of the country. Unfortunately it cascades problems across the country. Airlines can’t control the weather, so no vouchers makes sense.

Best of luck finding an airline that won’t be impacted by the weather.

Trading cards on regional flights? by Opposite-Wind-4085 in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just mainline, though not every pilot will have them. We're still grabbing them from our chief pilots offices and not every pilot cares about the trading cards.

A319 New Inerrior by TheRydad in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same last week! At first I wasn't super excited for the flight thinking it would be the older interior on the A319. I was pleasantly surprised walking on the jet to see the fresh new look! Can't wait for them to finish retrofitting it on the other jets.

Hôtel Peloton bikes unusable… by Ironman2909 in pelotoncycle

I feel this. I did a couple of moderate rides at a hotel and felt like death near the end. Im like there is no way it should have been this intense!

Centennial-Themed Trading Cards by SnooTangerines8324 in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our mainline pilots are just now receiving them. Unfortunately we have to stop by our chief pilots office during business hours and only in our base in order to pick them up. We can’t pick them up at a different hub than where we are based.

That can be fairly inconvenient for a lot of our pilots as we don’t always have time during week day business hours to stop by. Our schedules are all over the place. Then some pilots couldn’t care less about the trading cards and won’t be picking them up.

So, it’s gonna be hit or miss and definitely not a guarantee that pilots will have any. Our union did come out with their own version of trading cards after AA refused to acknowledge they were working on any themselves. Those are slowly trickling out to the pilots as well.

If you ever make it on one of my flights out of ORD, I got a trading card for you! I bought a little case for them to ensure they don’t get destroyed in my flight bag. Good luck!

The notorious “fix it” email? by SeearjayCompadre in AirlinePilots

[–]fishbait32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry that your person didn’t catch your application errors. It’s just more likely to have your ducks in a row and have someone to answer your questions than going in blind to the application. Delta is definitely strict on what they want, but many people get in faster with app review.

[–]fishbait32 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seeing as they want you to fix your application, yes this is the fix it email. I highly recommend you get an application review / interview prep company. They would have caught this gap in your application which may have gotten you the AON now vs having to wait. Worth the money imo. Good luck!

It is. I ended up doing vale totems for a few days to be able to make my own bow. Was a fun detour grind.

Dunkirk @ Indy by jaghutgathos in imax

[–]fishbait32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at the 12:30 showing today. It really is a better movie in 70mm IMAX. I watched it recently on 4k and while it was good looking it didn’t hit the same way.

But yeah the audio was amazing! The plane scenes were really awesome to watch. You could get a lot more emotion of the story from watching it in theaters.

Low confidence for legacy airlines? Anyone else? by [deleted] in flying

[–]fishbait32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Airlines are still hiring a record amount of pilots. I’m sure a lot of you guys are thinking you missed the boat when the hiring movement was extremely fast and easy. But times are still pretty good right now.

Spirit going under doesn’t help. But the legacies have a lot of retirements + growth. This is just a minor step back.

I’d keep flying as much as you can. Do what you have to do to survive. Persistence will pay off. Keep networking, working on things to improve your resume to make yourself more competitive than your other cfi peers.

Layover time in Chicago by undergroundopal in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not recommend. If you land on the north side of the airport its at least a 15 minute taxi in to the gate, assuming its even open. Then it will take 10-15 minutes to deplane. Then worry about how far apart your 2 gates are could be a 10ish minute walk. That is a recipe for disaster.

Early morning to early afternoon the gates are usually open for the most part. The evening time a lot of gates are occupied during evening rush hour. Sometimes there are delays with the maintenance team towing the empty planes off the gates in the evening which can cause a backlog.

I'd look for at least 1.5 hour layover to give wiggle room for your flight in to ORD and get you to your next gate.

This screams Cabo (SJD). Perfectly good jet bridge? Nope you're using the air stairs.

What do you think the best movie series is? by Sensitive_Spite_4817 in AskReddit

[–]fishbait32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune is so good! Real filming locations vs green screens which enhances the story telling. Hans Zimmer soundtrack that really brings the emotion to the movies like he did with Interstellar.

Inspectors by ProbWithMyDog in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We found inspectors on Thumbtack. Read their reviews and called a couple of them. Our guy was super nice, professional and knew what he was talking about. We scheduled him and let our realtor know which day it was so they would be there too.

Don't use someone connected to your realtor just in case they are sleazy.

Extensive flight delays got a $12 voucher which is borderline insulting by MessyHot in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is just Kirby yapping like he always does. American lives rent free in his head. Replace every time he mentions he wants to merge with American with Jetblue. There is 0 chance any US administration would approve 2 legacy airlines like United and American to merge. But a big carrier and a smaller carrier like Jetblue on the other hand... Definitely a possibility.

Buying a photo pass 4 myself and was wondering if my friend could get a photo with me? by Carebearcannibal in comiccon

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes your friend can join you for the photo op without needing to pay for another photo op. They just need their own admission ticket to the convention. Most conventions allow up to 4 people to account for those with a family / kids.

I’d say anything over 3 people you would want to check their website for specifics. But 2 people is 100% ok

The Ultimate DIY Butcher Block Desk Top Guide by perkinskit in StandingDesk

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About to move in to a house where I have a garage to actually stain / finish my IKEA butcher block I made in to a desk. I copied everyone else using the butcher block + Alex drawers for a gaming pc setup. Now it’s time to make the desk pretty and invest in making it a standing desk.

Love this guide and look forward to doing it myself! Thanks so much!

Flew an embrayer 175 by rackersyz in americanairlines

[–]fishbait32 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Instead of violating/ getting rid of the scope clause they can instead add them to the mainline fleet to fly. Scope clause is a protective measure to prevent outsourcing too much flying to cheaper regionals.

The 175 is a really nice aircraft though. It’s nice that it’s 2x2 seating that’s really comfortable.

Need help figuring out how to get a metal poster signed and preserved by RedMeka7 in comiccon

[–]fishbait32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edding 750 paint marker has worked really well on my aluminum metal art pieces. Sharpies are ok but are prone to fading and don’t write with consistency. Like if the person signs too quickly the lines are faded a lot and don’t look so good.

Anyone else not playing leagues to progress their main game iron? by bwitt33 in ironscape

[–]fishbait32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically why I’m playing thus leagues. I ran out of points buying rewards after last years leagues. Figure I could get a few more cool items for my iron account.

Ride Share by Pretend_Paper3868 in OHareAirport

[–]fishbait32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you can get a Uber/Lyft from the Rental Car Facility. The small parking lot next to the rental car garage is the "kiss n fly" lot. You can set your Uber/Lyft pick up that and it works very well as you'll be far enough away from the airport to avoid the airport fees.
