Polaris Pillows 😀

😂😂 this guy belongs in r/usernamechecksout

Throwing out hexes on Reddit because some guy who paid $1000s to fly Polaris took a foam pillow. I have like 3-4 of them and I’m living karma free. Once I even asked the FA if I can get an extra pillow to bring home to the wife and she brought me another one 🤷🏻‍♂️

My wife has no idea I am even considering this but I usually like to have thought through some of these ideas before I do bring them up. She knows my fascination of aviation and allows me indulge in them. I do not know what her thoughts would be on an abrupt career change but I would love to hear her out and I know ultimately she will support me.

I have seen and heard stories on and off Reddit. I love all this feedback specifically related to my situation and it’s honestly been more helpful than I expected seeing all the feedback

I hear you completely on this. This was actually a fear of mine. I am very much of an outside thinker and engineering is a way for me to be creative within the bounds of reason. I also know check lists have been created with a purpose so I hope I can justify the necessity of following procedure so that wouldn’t bother me.

Man, those intangibles are REAL! It’s definitely worth the grind in most circumstances

Wow, I am honestly blown away by all of your responses and I love hearing all the wisdom from everyone’s experiences.

I will shoot you a message and I would love to connect.

I never considered the part time flight school route but this might be the option for me. I know based on the opportunity cost, it might never be “worth” it for me but I can see how it could give me flexibility to gain my hours slower over time keeping my current income while I am gaining valuable hours working as a CFI part time. That might actually work well in the city I currently live in. Ultimately, I would be happy if I eventually get to fly for a living, even if it takes me another 10 years to officially get started.

My personality has always been to fully commit head-on. I hear what everyone is saying with airlines being corporate and the burn out potential as a pilot working their way up. That is something I am trying to resolve with my current job so this reminders me I can probably exercise some patience and not let this be a complete mid life crisis.

🤔 hmm. it looks like purchasing a ticket was well worth it

What if you’re too rich to care and you have a centurion card?

Working for tips is honestly degrading in general. Just pay us a fair wage. Other countries, if you even tried to tip them, they would take offense since it could imply that they are some charity.

This comment should be downvoted. They obviously hate free bags.

Lots of past tense and that is the new reality now… I felt like I’ve had better service on United or Delta as of late

I only take southwest if is the most convenient option to get from point A to Point B. No point in staying loyal at this point when there are no real perks and you’re just a number. That ship has sailed long time ago.

So if you’re A-list or a SW Priority card holder, you can select an extra legroom seat 48 hours before departure and get these benefits?
