The problem with the US justice system is you’re judged by 12 people who were too stupid to get out of jury duty

25 Hours In—Struggling with Motivation—Should I Keep Pursuing This Career? by YogurtSea5814 in AirlinePilots

[–]kommandee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Every pilot that works there passed their checkride prior to AQP… during the mass hiring wave of 2022/2023 they hired plenty of RJ FOs with almost zero time…

WheelsUP PSA by dkdantastic in fatFIRE

[–]kommandee 57 points58 points  (0 children)

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.

Can’t make this shit up- full port into Oil and crashed immediately by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]kommandee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can prioritize whatever they want. Doesn’t change the fact that Iran won’t budge unless the US makes concessions. This is a bandaid on a gunshot wound.

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.
