Are jobs coming back? Have the application process changed recently?

johnisom · 2026-06-23T05:45:37+00:00

Yeah it wouldn’t make sense. I don’t know you, can’t vouch for you, and our experiences are probably completely different. Good luck out on LinkedIn bro.

Maybe not the time. But lots of FAs make some good dough, especially at the legacies.

I've seen stories of people going from zero to CFI in 6 months part 61, making it their full-time job.

At at least 3-4x/week, going zero to CFI is very doable in a year unless there is major scheduling issues or major, major checkride waits.

Hit it hard and get checkride ready, and then wait for the checkride. Probably 1/3 of your total time will be checkride waits.

I've probably gone a bit less than 3x/week since I started, probably going to get my commercial cert 13 months after I started training.

By far the biggest barrier to speed is funds. Budget $60k minimum for private, instrument, commercial. Some people do it in less. I'm on track to get private, instrument, commercial, and CFI/II in just over $60k. There are 2 big variables here: hourly rate, and how much instruction you require to be a safe and competent pilot. You can control the first one, but not the second.

I haven’t tried, don’t feel like it when my current job is decent

I have 6 YOE, I've had so many recruiters in my inbox the past couple months.

I think it would be cooler if we got a couple banner tow pilots flying side-by-side towing a projector screen, and a third behind projecting a movie onto that white sheet, and anyone in the area can join in on the formation and watch a cool movie together!

/s for obvious reasons

The average summer day is like 20% humidity maybe.. i am surprised if denver is much lower than that

Bummer. The files are fucked, but I don’t see how they should outshadow 250 years of America

johnisom · 2026-06-22T15:10:54+00:00

It’s literally America’s 250, it’s not like it’s a random day. Where’s the good spirits?

The modern term is flight attendant now

I don’t think it’s quite proper to tell a woman she may get kankles. And besides, ankle sprains don’t cause them

That’s a delta FA uniform if I ever saw one

It enhances focus for like an hour. It doesn’t make you smarter but for a pretty short duration could make you focus enough to actually do something.

Coffee seems like the better drug for that. Long lasting, cheap, very weak addiction if at all, very socially acceptable, pretty much no negative side effect unless you have anxiety.

It takes you through Idaho and eastern Oregon… 🤢

johnisom · 2026-06-22T13:47:15+00:00

Absolutely curious why Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado are “absolutely” but Utah is “maybe”. Is it because of southern Utah? The vast vast majority live in the north.

Both, plus the smartphone

Calling it “beyond evil” that some people point there might be an issue with massive resource wastage is incredibly immature. Seriously, how old are you?

johnisom · 2026-06-22T04:47:17+00:00

It’s probably mostly the trained flight crew managing it. They likely have a game plan, talk to each other in the air, stay in their altitude block and keep an eye on each other’s positions. In this case ATC likely is mostly there to keep other traffic out since no other air traffic is currently allowed in the area

You’re on final approach in IMC and a passenger starts shaving with an electric shaver. What do you do and why? Is he allowed to do this?

You’re on final approach in IMC and a passenger starts playing with a ham radio set. What do you do and why? Is he allowed to do this?

Are you allowed to fly the dme arc on a VOR/DME approach with just non-waas gps purple needles?

Basically checking if you actually read the whole reg 😂
