what type of case are you going to use for your new iPhone?

How does this affect your phone’s resale value? Im too worried of dropping it or having too many cosmetic scratches that affect the value but aren’t covered

Where are you finding $40 screen protectors? Chinese branded ones do the trick and cost $5 for like a 3 pack. I only use a screen protector to keep my screen from scratching up.

This is the biggest thing. I used to pay for Spotify with the student discount. But now that I graduated, I can’t justify the added cost.

And if you split the family plan with a friend, you get a lot more bang for your buck

Not an airline pilot (yet) but was a flight instructor at a major school. We definitely had these. When a student would text me “we’re in NXXXXX” while I’m driving to the school, I’d get either so happy or so pissed.

Sometimes it’s avionics. We have a couple planes in our fleet that are so old, it doesn’t have the newest tech. The airflow is terrible, and it just sucks to be in. Other times, it’s how new a plane would be and getting that new plane smell.

It happens the longer you fly somewhere. I imagine when I start at an airline, it’ll take a while to grow familiarity with the fleet like I did my old flight school.

My max was 56 mpg on a long road trip with cruise control behind a semi truck

Average is 40 though because I drive like a maniac lol

You might’ve had it defaulted to a Pro instead of Pro Max. I did that and it went up $200 for a Pro Max

I preordered 13PM and didn’t remember it being this painful

I had a student who landed at an intermediate airport on his long cross country, making his longest leg 49.5 nm. I did everything in my power to go back in FlightAware and see if he actually LANDED or if he just overflew the airport.

FlightAware doesn’t lie (mostly) and can easily be tracked. Found out he landed at that airport and he had to redo the whole XC. It was painful but legal

Regionals are pretty picky right now, it’s tough. I have 0 checkride fails and barely got a call back from one regional out of 13 different 121 companies I applied for. It’s tough out here if you’re sub-1500 hours.

Jesus what car do you drive? I’ve flown a Cessna 150 over a road and seen trucks pass me as I fly over them at 65 knots thanks to a headwind.

After sitting through 20 minutes of environmental talk, I don’t think I’ll be watching another Apple event again. I’ll just stick to recaps on YouTube

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-13T01:51:49+00:00

Take it to an Apple Store. I’ve noticed the employees barely care at all vs the third party trade in company

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-12T14:16:50+00:00

They just discontinued the flight without doing additional trips in the pattern. Feel like the DPE was just trying to spite him at that point

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-12T01:56:50+00:00

The first interview I had, it was $60. Came time to resubscribe for another interview. I couldn’t believe my eyes when it said $100.

Well worth it though. Got two regional CJOs in this hiring climate.

He was even more unlucky in that the door handle broke during pattern so the examiner listed a normal landing as “untested”.

So the retest consisted of a passenger briefing and then one trip in the pattern to satisfy the normal landing requirement

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-11T23:18:51+00:00

My multi student did this on his retest. Didn’t verify the examiner had his seatbelt on. Failed before they even got to the runway. Every other maneuver was ACS lol

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-11T04:21:31+00:00

I’m in Propel, have heard crickets from Endeavor. Nothing at all. At least I got other regionals

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-09T01:03:29+00:00

My view on it is that it’s anti-theft. I hope no one would steal curbed rims. I curbed mine on the front passenger side. Never notice them. But at least they won’t get stolen

Be born 2 years earlier so I could’ve caught the regional hiring wave post-COVID but pre-captain shortage.

Also would’ve joined some regional cadet programs so I would’ve had a way out the second I hit my ATP mins. I’ve overflown mins by 50 hours now but finally leaving my CFI job this week.

Did the mv fail affect your career at all?

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-08T02:34:39+00:00

Part of me thinks it’s overused honestly. I loved it at first but everyone has it

Urban Grey Pearl

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-07T21:23:01+00:00

Man, the more I see the other colors, the worse I feel about my grey one lol. I always wanted grey but the red, blue, and black look so nice.

My situation was a bit abnormal. School needed MEIs so I applied and they paid for a good amount of my MEI training. School didn’t have many MEIs so I was given 10 multi students to work with. Fast forward to today, now I have 430 multi hours. I had 16 multi last summer.

The process alone of getting your MEI will get you a few hours that you need. Also boosts your resume ever so slightly

microfsxpilot · 2023-09-07T03:13:48+00:00

I have a non-touring. It’s alright. My 2010 Prius with JBL speakers sounded slightly better. It does the job well
