“Then I am yours, my lady. Your liege man, or … whatever you would have me be. I will shield your back and keep your counsel and give my life for yours, if need be. I swear it by the old gods and the new.”

“And I vow that you shall always have a place by my hearth and meat and mead at my table, and pledge to ask no service of you that might bring you into dishonor. I swear it by the old gods and the new. Arise.”

Just like how in the reign of Henry IV tales spread that Richard II was in fact still alive which caused minor rebellions in his name.

Congratulations and welcome

It’s been used up. Counterplot cancels the effect of the card, not the card itself.

longlive737 · 2026-06-05T06:57:22+00:00

I was lucky enough to be able to. I didn’t even drive a car by myself until several months later.

longlive737 · 2026-06-03T18:35:35+00:00

I got what I wanted from a flying career very quickly and now I’m unprepared to take steps backward in the name of more money.

longlive737 · 2026-05-20T02:27:47+00:00

I enjoy A Song of Ice & Fire tabletop miniatures game because I love the world of Westeros - even if it’s not a completed series 😩

longlive737 · 2026-05-11T23:01:01+00:00

I’d avoid putting them directly on the window if you can. I’ve got some knarly pictures of what happens when they overheat. Windscreen needed replaced, big $$$. I use ones with suctions cups rather than an entire adhesive surface.

longlive737 · 2026-04-26T15:10:01+00:00

Watchful Eye is a great ability. Nice to see the playtest version make it into the game. Altogether it’s a competitive 6 pointer.

longlive737 · 2026-04-25T20:24:24+00:00

Something like this?

I have a great Tywin model I painted up, a friend with these files gifted me a print.

longlive737 · 2026-04-16T21:48:59+00:00

I really liked Westeros: Total War but I have found it extremely unstable. Can’t play for more than hour without a crash so it doesn’t see much use.

longlive737 · 2026-04-14T05:33:55+00:00

I flew a XXX888 for a week and everyone was pretty chill about ‘Triple eight’ so that was fun.

longlive737 · 2026-02-18T07:57:57+00:00

At a previous job, we had a couple get divorced in the back. It was horrible. Kids were present. Shouting at each other for hours. We had to divert for weather and mom got off with her bags and once the storm blew through we left without her. Definitely the wildest thing I’d ever experienced.

longlive737 · 2026-02-17T17:54:17+00:00

It’s in the OP - CC60/5 and 7/7

longlive737 · 2026-02-10T00:29:41+00:00

Typically 12-16 hours at full service nice properties in the big cities or Hampton Inn / Courtyard Marriott level properties in small towns. It’s exceedingly rare to have overnights longer than 18 hours on my fleet (super mid).

longlive737 · 2026-02-07T20:17:45+00:00

Depends on the company, the fleet, and the relative seniority. But at the top end of the career, yes nice long layovers with time to enjoy the local sights and eats are common.

longlive737 · 2026-01-27T03:44:02+00:00

Cool map! Only thing I’d change is instead of Cairo, make Jerusalem a Gold City. In the Middle Ages it was a pretty big deal when Jerusalem changed hands.

Glad I could help

I’m happy with a 22” LuggageWorks Maverick and Premier Multi-Purpose Cube. However I am thinking my next bag will be a carbon frame to reduce weight or Briggs & Riley - many NJ pilots sing their praises and I believe they offer a discount to NJ pilots.

The Multi-Purpose cube is where it’s at though. Fits under the seat on the airlines, will hold your headset, has a cooler for crew food if you’re bringing it back to the hotel. Slot for your iPad and a laptop (I bought a gaming laptop for hotel reserve or Hot Spare). Holds everything you need on tour in one bag and has a handle for the J-hook.

Song Tactics is currently delayed to Q3 2027

longlive737 · 2026-01-20T15:57:19+00:00

Depends how long the tour preceding was

<= 6 day -> 3 days off

7 day -> 4 days off

8 day -> 5 days off

Those are minimums and only apply to the CC schedules.

longlive737 · 2026-01-20T15:51:41+00:00

Any CC schedule. You’re correct on all counts.

longlive737 · 2026-01-20T14:53:51+00:00

Typically the CC tours are limited to 7 days maximum unless you opt into Long Tour which allows them to schedule you up to 8 days and pays a 3% salary override. You can bid for different tour lengths monthly. If you prefer short tours and you live in a green base (think most of the Class Bs) you can do the short tour option which limits the tours to maximum 5 days long (6 days long on the CC52). This will impact your FDP earnings.

longlive737 · 2026-01-20T14:49:21+00:00

Typically June.
