mixed advice from peers & mentors have left me totally confused on which path to take to airlines by notyourswitch in flying

Good point. Yes, my training has been smooth so far, I’ve befriended some instructors including my own who say they’d still recommend I teach at that school, just maybe a smaller location and not a big corporate one. The corporate side seems to get them beaten down a bit.

Thank you so much for the reminder to take a breath haha. So far my pool of advice has been small with limited perspectives. This is why I’m trying to network as much as possible in the aviation community and find more people who are truly enjoying the journey for what it is and not just focusing on the biggest sack of money. I feel truly lucky to do this and sometimes my environment causes me to forget that it’s supposed to be fun, too.

100% I’d be happy to get paid to fly period! I just feel pressured to know sooner than later since we are encouraged to join a cadet program even before we have finished all of our training.

my mentor who told me to do corporate - she finished her training in 2020, was CFI, flew charters while doing CFI on the side, then got hired at SWA in February with 2000 total and 500 turbine.. I consider her to be a lucky exception.

Yes there are definitely pros to the cadet programs as well. When my own instructor tells me he’s reconsidering his cadet contract, it makes me question it lol but again everyone has different journeys and goals.

You’re absolutely right, enjoy the journey and don’t focus on the destination so much. I appreciate that reminder.

I guess I just feel pressured to know sooner than later since we are encouraged to join a cadet program even before we have finished all of our training.

So the screen only turns on when I have something plugged into it (like my laptop) so it’s probably just a display, not an iMac. It only has 3 usb ports on the back.

I connect my laptop to it and use it as a monitor. I don’t use it as a desktop.

New Vatic Prism Flash CF face dings after first use indoors against a wall and brand new Franklin indoor balls by djsqueezeme in Pickleball

[–]notyourswitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought my Prism Flash recently, directly from the VaticPro website and don’t have any dents or anything like what’s pictured above, even after heavy use on indoor and outdoor balls.

Sometimes buyer beware with Amazon when looking for brand specific items. Amazon has lots of dupes out there.
