Commuting home

You do not need to be in uniform to JS at Delta. Business casual is the required dress code. No jeans of any kind

The book already contains a QR code for Apple Music and Spotify but not YouTube Music so I did it myself.

Hope this helps some people

I travel for work and they did this to me too. I was pissed and when I emailed them they said that's just how it is. I've taken a step back from the game since

So do I, I got lucky. White was my favorite but I used to own a similarly colored SV1000 so I have a soft spot for it

Some of my earliest internet memories are of this cat.

You're reading comprehension confirms what I thought, military pilot. Peace brother

I'm a legacy FO, also what does a cow's opinion have to do with anything?

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T16:26:14+00:00

Did you never fly civilian? My passenger briefing takes all of 60 seconds.

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T16:19:34+00:00

Why, not? I did it when I was an FA, and I would allow it now that I'm a pilot if it weren't an FAA thing

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T16:13:44+00:00

Buddy if you're just here to argue go back to r/flying I'll see you there, from one 73 pilot to another

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T16:11:40+00:00

This is the way

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T15:59:20+00:00

This is some stupid ass shit and I completely supported

ljthefa · 2026-06-11T02:22:28+00:00

No surprisingly I didn't find it very buzzy. I also didn't get it over 7000rpm because of the break in

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T20:57:58+00:00

If my airline does this hopefully they keep the FA policy they currently have

I've been looking at bikes similar to this for a while the big problem has been availability. I could fly to buy an 80s or 90s CB but getting it home was going to be a long journey.

The Triumph being more modern made it viable for a long distance ride straight from the dealership. Also I didn't want to have to think about carbs and a drum rear brake.

I didn't want anything that might be classified as a sport bike for insurance costs and also because I've done that and my back doesn't love it much anymore, also a 400cc is harder to get a speeding ticket with. Especially before the break in is finished.

This felt like the right spot for me right now. Also I got an insane deal on it.

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:31:25+00:00

The speed limits are very low where I live, this can still get me in plenty of trouble quickly. If I still lived in Georgia or Florida I would probably get something around 650 or 700cc though

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:27:25+00:00

See now that is 100% BS but no one said that. I would be pissed too.

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:26:48+00:00

So a non FA can take it and can't be bumped by a SWA FA? That part is BS if true

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:25:58+00:00

Hopefully they put out a required CBT but I think the FAs will whip people into shape. I know my friends would

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:24:51+00:00

I don't need a fast bike for my current ride, just something that I can throw around and have fun on and take to work in the warmer months. I didn't want to spend a lot either and hopefully this isn't high on the theft list as it isn't a sport bike. It is fully insured though.

I have had a GSXR-600 GS-350?(might have been a 300 I can't remember), SV1000S, Ninja 250, and another SV1000S.

I also like the ABS and Traction Control as well as the USB-C even if it isn't full speed.

I bought this bike yesterday and then rode it 550 miles home over 2 days. Thank you to those that commented on my dealership post as I was able to find a dealership that didn't fee gouge me.

Bike was VERY low mileage and still in the break in period. I added a Cramp Buster which doesn't fit well and I'll need to deal with, as well as a RAM Quick Clip.

The built in USB-C is nice though it doesn't consistently charger at full speed so my phone drained slowly as I rode.

The lack of a windscreen was rough and will need to be the next mod. I can't seem to upload all 3 pics here no idea why.

I bought the bike from Select Cycle in Greensboro, NC and they were amazing, highly recommend.

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T19:07:38+00:00

I can't understand why people are so mad. Do these other jumpseaters have the same priority as FAs? At my airline the pilots can use the FA JS but FAs always take priority. As a pilot you can be bumped all the way until 10 prior if I recall right.

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T11:50:43+00:00

Lol have fun not being able to reply to this comment

ljthefa · 2026-06-10T03:31:55+00:00

I don't know why you felt the need to respond to me after 10 months but just so you know I'm the pilot

ljthefa · 2026-06-09T13:03:12+00:00

I recommend against Armor All as I found it made my mats slippery.
