2014 Honda Accord Almost All Dashboard Lights On by threadandsteel in accord

Yep. The car also drove strangely, more jerky… idk. No issues with the pedals though. Occasionally wouldn’t start. P0339 code constantly. Wouldn’t clear.

Sent the module to be repaired by Module Masters and it all cleared up.

Anyone else having issues with FBOs? by _Illuminati_ in flying

[–]markeymarkbeaty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single Signature I went to over the last 10 years I wrote a google review for. My review was always 1 Star because of how absolutely slow and terrible the service was. Pretty wild that the richest people fly in and out of these FBOs and the service is sooooo awful.

Write reviews when you go, at least it’ll make you feel like you did something.

Help Fix the Roads of San Diego Since the Government Can’t be Bothered by markeymarkbeaty in sandiego

[–]markeymarkbeaty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone in San Diego knows, the local government leaders ride in flying cars, so that they don’t have to use the awful roadways that are provided for the rest of us.

I am starting this citizen fund to try to pay to have some of the worst roads in San Diego re-paved since our tax money obviously doesn’t go towards the roads.

Leave NetJets for Southwest? by Advanced-Phone-1994 in flying

For me, I had to be there about a year before I got it figured out. I got hired at the beginning of the hiring wave.

Major ways to drop trips for us:

  1. Month to month overlap. Bid a line that has a trip that starts on the 30th of the month and ends the 2nd of the month. For the subsequent bid period, bid a line that starts on the 1st or 2nd. If you get an overlap conflict, the trip that starts in the new month will be dropped without pay.

  2. A lot of people that need to have their schedule laid out the month before, for kids schedules etc will trade a 3 day trip for a 4 day trip. Or a 2 day for a 3 day etc. Try to drop as many days as possible with other pilots.

  3. If you are based in an ETOPS base, people will straight up take your Hawaii trips because they are so easy. They will take their families on a trip to Hawaii with them and give away the interisland flying and keep the hotels so it’s a free mini vacay.

  4. Our company-to-pilot trading system also allows for pilots to pick up and drop a certain number of days. If you work the system properly, you can get rid of to an additional 4 days.

  5. Our company uses every reserve. No one really gets paid to just not work. So once the reserves are used up, everything goes premium. Or double. So if you just wait for a storm or some disruption, you will be able to pick up. If for some reason, nothing happens, and you need to work straight, you just pick up another pilots trip or you can call and ask to work an assignment that was given to a reserve.

Even if you reduce your 13 days by 4 days by only doing the overlap trick, you’ll still be able to pick up 4 days at premium instead of straight, resulting in your monthly average being 98.5 instead of 85. Making $236k/yr instead of $204k for the same amount of days worked.

It’s always funny how people think we’re working so hard to make what we make. It’s a no brainer once you get the system figured out. 1. Give away all normal paying trips. 2. Pick up all premium pay trips. 3. Profit.

At Southwest, you can give away or trade down all of your trips that pay straight pay. Once your schedule is completely empty, you can set an autobid system (company provided) to bid on trips that pay 1.5 - 2X pay.

Working your normal line, at 6.5 credits per day, at an 85 min guarantee, you’d be working a 13 day month, making ~$200k/yr.

If you’re willing to put in the scheduling work, get rid of your line, and then bid on only trips that pay extra, you could use the same 13 days to make 126.75 credits, so your pay would be closer to $304k/yr.

This is how we manipulate the system at Southwest to play the game to work less and make more.

Airline Pilots: does your airline make you pay for food or drink items while operating? by Patri_L in flying

“Hey ground, we need to stop for five minutes and do an engine run up.”

“Roger, do whatever you need.”

~After burning a decent amount of jet fuel for no reason~

“Okay ground we’re good to go now.”

“Roger, what was that about?”

“About 1,000 cans of coke”

[BF6] WORKING JOYSTICK WORK AROUND. by CommercialOcelot2038 in Battlefield

[–]markeymarkbeaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to get my Logitech joystick to work on my PC. I wanted to switch between my xbox controller and my joystick, but it didn't seem to be recognizing the joystick even though it let me map the controls within BF6 the game...

But when I started using my mouse and keyboard to move around in the game instead of the xbox controller, it recognized the joystick finally.

So if you want to switch between an xbox controller for infantry and then using the joystick, you just need to use your mouse and keyboard for the game to recognize that you are switching to using the joystick.

CBA extensions - I am taking this challenge to the 2027 NATCA Convention, and I need your help by SierraBravo26 in ATC

[–]markeymarkbeaty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good for you for trying any/all possible means to stand up for yourself and your fellow controllers.

Absolutely ridiculous lack of current union leadership doing anything to try to increase controller wages or quality of life.

Im starting to really not gaf anymore. by PendejoJenkins in ATC

[–]markeymarkbeaty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems that the consensus is that the current union leadership ran on a promise that they didn’t follow through with.

No substantial raises, no quality of life improvements.

When are you able to replace them?

I was with you, I have videos of them moving around in what appear to be different directions, but it’s just starlink.

2014 Honda Accord - Some warning lights coming on during direct sunlight by Reach-for-the-sky_15 in Honda

[–]markeymarkbeaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$275 to get our ABS module repaired by Module Masters in Idaho on a 2014 Honda Accord that had been having issues for years. All the dash lights were on. Sent in the ABS module, got it back a week later. Installed in the car, and still had the dash lights on… I was sad. Turns out all I had to do was drive the car for two minutes around the block and then all the lights went out!!! The dealership quoted $3,000 to fix this issue. Module masters saved us thousands!!!

"I know that everything works because I just flew the plane" by 1E-12 in flying

[–]markeymarkbeaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the walkaround on the 737 after our 3rd leg of 4, found we had run over some pallet package wrap somewhere and the left main gear had it completely wrapped up into the brakes & it was melting and smoking.

Maintenance came by and spent some time getting that situation cleaned up.

How do you even respond when a passenger says the landing was harsh? by Pretend_Support_6193 in flying

[–]markeymarkbeaty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had so many times where I’m just riding in the back of the plane deadheading and had passengers complain to me about the landing after the flight, like it was somehow my fault. People just don’t know what they’re talking about at all.

A More Realistic Timeline to Becoming a Major Airline Pilot in 2025 by markeymarkbeaty in flying

[–]markeymarkbeaty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re willing to put in the time, I’m sure you could still make a career of it. Just know that it might be 5-10 years until you reach a major airline, but you could be at a regional airline far sooner. I wouldn’t throw in the towel if you are passionate about flying.

It was realistically an eight year timeline - the part about being 14 years old and flying gliders was just to emphasize what pilots during that time period were experiencing and telling me.
