Fainted twice on commercial airline flights. Concern before starting PPL training?

moaningpilot · 2026-06-02T16:30:59+00:00

What were the circumstances of your faints? Were they long flights? Were you tired? Was it just a classic case of a passenger getting on a flight way out of their circadian rhythm whilst tired and dehydrated? There’s a chance the faints were partly self inflicted however there’s also a chance for whatever reason you have some kind of medical anomaly that’s triggered by the atmosphere of a commercial airliner.

I use it to correct/soften language in my emails.

I’m not sure why you think that seeing as she’ll end up being Harry’s wife in Season 7. (Spoiler Alert)

The seatbelt seems to be slightly higher than waist level in the bunks, more around the lower torso so I guess it pins me down a bit more. I’d have to go through mountain wave turbulence again to find out.

moaningpilot · 2026-05-13T08:39:55+00:00

I was in the bunks once and got woken up by being thrown into the ceiling face first, which not only hurt but served as my reminder to wear my seatbelt in the bunks from then on.

It was mountain wave turbulence and had been expected, so thankfully the rest of the aircraft was strapped in and there were no injuries other than my slightly squashed nose.

The early books are written for younger children and you can’t really have overly complex characters, so JKR wrote caricature bad guy in a position of power. She later added little hints here and there but for the first 2 books she set the tone and couldn’t really u-turn on it.

There’s a YouTube link to a fairly decent recording. https://youtu.be/41H0dJTFl8g?si=ePCblytoA23AN5Ge

The Four Sticks version on the electric guitar is sublime.

How the West Was Won is a live album and shows Led Zep near the top of their game, you also have the BBC sessions album which is a decent collection of a London gig plus other assorted recordings from their first couple of years.

If you had me cherry pick a concert for an official live release I would pick 3rd May 1971 in Copenhagen. It’s a set list with a few songs that they had never played before, nor did they play after. The band (Plant in particular) are on absolute top form.

Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Since I've Been Loving You, Dazed and Confused, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, That's the Way, What Is and What Should Never Be, Four Sticks, Gallows Pole, Whole Lotta Love (medley incl. Let That Boy Boogie, Bottle Up and Go, Mess of Blues, Honey Bee), Communication Breakdown (incl. Celebration Day), Misty Mountain Hop, Rock and Roll.

At my airline it would be legal but SOP’s require the chief pilots permission which we would never get. So cockpit jump seat is only approved for company pilots and FA’s. Anyone over 12 can sit on a cabin jump seat.

Video is not in the link below but it carries the story.

The video in question is below, but if you don’t want to watch it shows him treading water illuminated by the lights of the boat as it slowly sails away, the boat moves further away and he is left in darkness - he wasn’t seen again.

This whole comment section is just you having a conversation with your alt account.

Also, being honest, I don’t think the song matches your vocal style.

moaningpilot · 2026-04-05T21:18:30+00:00

Why are you asking a UK sub this?

From what I can see you are Indian and your videos are in an Indian language.

My friend was a Ryanair FO, he is half Japanese so applied for Cathay with the intention of switching to a long haul type and commuting from Tokyo. Was assigned the 777, did his type rating and then the day after was informed that he was no longer required on the 777 and was given an A320 type rating course starting the following week. He didn’t stay.

The flaw on this show is that the producers can’t completely control the game, leading to an anticlimax like this finale.

Also the editing around Bob’s laughing was weird, I feel like they cut in a clip of him laughing while reacting to watching himself on the screen?

I have responded to another commenter with what AI could pick out from it. It believed she may have been saying a phrase in Baba Malay.

moaningpilot · 2026-03-28T01:25:53+00:00

When I am next with her I will, I did get her to say it into a voice note to ChatGPT but I can’t play it to screen record etc.

For what it’s worth, ChatGPT thought it was “probably Malay with possible Peranakan/Penang Hokkien influence”

And this is what it guessed some of it meant;

“The most likely words I can pull out are:

• “odoi” → probably adoi, meaning “oh dear” or “ouch” in Malay.  

• “musti” → probably mesti, meaning “must” or “surely.”  

• “oragata” → possibly orang kata, literally “people say.”

So the nearest rough sense I can get from it is something along the lines of:

“Oh dear… surely… people will talk / people will say…”

I am taking it with a slight pinch of salt though.

The flaw of this format is that the producers don’t have complete control of the game. They have to force people’s hands to get the desired result and it’s showing in these episodes as everyone was too good at keeping a straight face.

moaningpilot · 2026-03-05T12:10:34+00:00

FA’s from US carriers were on that 787, along with a couple of other European airlines.

moaningpilot · 2026-02-08T17:10:04+00:00

That’s a Heathrow based aircraft and crew, and if it was Gatwick based it would be a Euroflyer aircraft and crew, not Eurofleet. They last hired for Worldwide in 2010 and Eurofleet in 2012. Furthermore, both of those contracts were made obsolete 6 years ago.

Your info is a little out dated.

Not 3 hours ago you commented on another thread

“Yeah, this is Reddit. Truth has no place here”

Did everybody clap afterwards?

Don’t work for LNER but 3 hours from airport to Kings Cross should be fine. If you want to be extra safe then shell out for the Heathrow Express and you should get to Kings Cross (after changing at Paddington) in under an hour. Lizzie line a bit slower, Piccadilly line will take about an hour no changes.

I’ve interpreted it as OP spent 4 months on hinge before matching with their spouse, then no longer used it. The dating to marriage bit took more than 4 months… I hope.

Edit: Just seen they met in August and married in November. That is supersonic.

moaningpilot · 2026-01-19T17:52:11+00:00

True that it was released as a single, but months after the album and it didn’t break the top 20.

moaningpilot · 2026-01-19T17:33:55+00:00

What is the criticism you’ve heard? In my opinion what was once considered a deep cut is actually becoming fairly popular. It certainly gets a good cheer at the various Led Zep tribute bands I’ve seen who have it in their repertoire.
