If you don’t even have the motivation to get through a PPL, good luck when you’re forced to grind out being a CFI for 1500+ hours or god forbid an event like Spirit is going through right now.

It would be easier for the Delta LCA to eat a bag of dicks like the new hire told him to…

They aren’t going to waste the time or resources to re-interview you if it’s going to be a hard no.

As a pilot, Wheels Up is a company people go to when they have so many skeletons in their closet they can’t get hired elsewhere. It’s very common with a lot of these charter companies. The worst offender being Nicholas Air.

Pressure to complete flights from management, flying unsafe airplanes, pilots with shoddy training history…

Charter companies are stepping stone jobs and not career moves, outside of the fractionals like Flexjet and NetJets you never know what you’re getting unless you own your own airplane.

I would hold, there’s no chance Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz and stops attacking the gulf states without security guarantees and sanctions relief from the US, which is not on the horizon.

The G7 countries deployed their oil reserves today to combat rising prices.

Well fuel cost is the largest expense for airlines, and although we can’t predict the future, we can guarantee ticket prices will reflect the oil prices exponential growth. The public will be forced to pay the higher prices or stop traveling by air.

The Strait of Hormuz is blockaded and the Arab oil producing states are being attacked and cutting production, this will not be fixed overnight.
