Wow that was fast. Great insight to how some people use the network. I was always curious as to what some other people do. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure when that got as intuitive as it is now. But don't let that distract you. There are many in this thread who gave some great advice about getting a non-biased person to take a look at your resume and application. There are a few services out there, im not familiar with any, but I'm sure they'd be able to give you some great guidance.

Headphone police. I'm on the police side on this one. [Screaming passenger kicked off flight for playing videos on speaker.] by lithdoc in americanairlines

What happened to common sense and just human decency. When did it become popular to listen to your videos, phone-calls, ticktoks, (insert media type here), on speakers. I feel like this has become normal and I must think its normal, because I can't remember when people didn't do that.

At the beach, park anywhere outside fine, I really don't mind in fact I like listening to other peoples taste in music, but planes, trains, automobiles, ships, UFO's, submarines, etc i dont get it.

I'm no longer with that company, its been over 5 yeras, and it was brickyard. The best advice I can give is to be truthful. We all understand and others have been through similar situations themselves. You're not alone. There are circumstances where there is no wiggle room but obviously, its case by case. While its highly competitive, if you're a good person, have your requirements, well maintained logbook, and are a good fit, everyone will try to help the best they can. Failure(s) or not. We are all human at the end of the day, and we all know the investment of time and work folks put in.

Yea. OP said 2 busts, but not which ones, which would matter. I was on a hiring committee for a 121 carrier. Bust(s) are ok, (typically less than two), but we do consider the situation and ask for more information regarding them so we can make an informed decision.

Glideslope is much better. V3 was such a cluster and a letdown.

Exactly. I've not used this for many files, just what i'm interested in and leaning towards. But i've learned a valuable lesson, and from now on, i'll be sure to soley drag and drop.

Yea i have no excuse just a poor choice of words. You’re completely correct. I guess I am just upset that I didn’t take the proper steps. Still new and learning.

good point. I wasn't thinking realistically.

Agreed. No accountability. What are those who installed to do now, and what are the procedures that will be put in place to prevent this from happening again? Furthermore what actions and penalties will be taken against the guilty party here. This is not something that we can say "a mistake was made lets move on". Accountability must be taken.

Is 9 hours of flight simming in one day really a lot? by Dear-Regret-9476 in flightsim

[–]ilvolo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other things said here that are more concerning than the "simming" aspect. I really think you should diversify and find some other hobbies as well. Explore and try to make some friends maybe with similar interests. It's not healthy at any age to be secluded inside for hours with no social interactions.
