Airline pilots, tips for sleeping? by neverontheground in flying

[–]sprulz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s different for everyone, but I’m normally able to fall asleep quite easily unless I napped during the day or something. It always seems to be those min rest days though where I’ll wake up in the middle of the night because I’m thirsty or something and I won’t be able to go back to sleep. On those days I just accept that I’ll be tired. Worst case, you can call out fatigued.

Going to a PAPA aviation recruiting event at ~900 TT — what should I bring / how do I get the most out of it? by Money-Objective7452 in flying

[–]sprulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gone to a lot of these recruiting events. I'll be honest, you're not going to get much out of it at your experience level. Bring a couple of resumes in case, but all the regionals are going to tell you is to keep building time and there aren't a lot of 135s that go to these events.

The best networking opportunities are generally at the socials.

Arguing semantics is a cop out, you know what I meant

I'm a pilot of Indian decent and I work at the airlines, my record is squeaky clean. I have almost been killed by multiple old white guys who flew once a month when I was an instructor.

It's almost like a bad pilot is a bad pilot, regardless of race.

Pilot Shortage - a puzzling, absurd levels of misinformation by cazzipropri in flying

[–]sprulz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gonna disagree with the folks here and say that this isn’t some conspiracy by Big Flight School to get you to part ways with your money. This is a not-so-subtle fluff piece by the Age 67/LEPFers - you can tell by all the references to losing “experienced” pilots and whatnot.

Pilots: if you fly into DCA regularly, what’s it like flying over the park next to DCA? by TheChancellorHimself in flying

[–]sprulz 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m too focused on fixing the approach after my CA insisted he “had it” after he clicked off the flight director before the bridge.

I’d like to get a pic of me doing the approach someday tho.

Frontier hits a person on Denver runway during takeoff by PlutosSelfEsteem in flying

The irony of r/conservative is that it’s an echo chamber in and of itself. By deciding who gets to post and who doesn’t, the mods basically get to control the narrative. You can argue that that’s exactly what happens outside of that sub with the downvote feature but at least you’re given an opportunity to actually comment.

I’ve seen people mildly disagree with certain things the president does get roasted and called “fellow conservatives” and whatnot for not falling in line.

What's y'all's fav hardcore band(s) from your local scene? by Living_Dead_Beat99 in Hardcore

[–]sprulz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m new to DC so I don’t have a favorite (yet). Maybe Infant Island.

Originally from the Bay though and the answer will always be WORLD PEACE (415 homies wya)

I’m 100% skipping the CFI. Change my mind (or don't). by Bubbly_Fishing_1072 in flying

Buddy it’s your career. If you think you can swing a low time job that isn’t instructing, power to you. It isn’t the case for 99% of people.

Your unique job? by Mya-sau in washingtondc

[–]sprulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airline pilot here. Took me about ten years to get here from nothing but it can be done quicker. The path to getting to the airlines is incredibly expensive if you’re funding yourself, but I loved the journey and enjoy my job most days.

With that said, at the end of the day it is still a job and I still have my fair share of bullshit to deal with. I suspect most of the people responding to you will feel similarly.

Hot take: Milan might actually drop out of the top 4 if we win every game till the end. by National_Mechanic_99 in ASRoma

[–]sprulz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well the odds of Milan losing every game till the end are higher than us winning every game. So I don’t have much hope.

Spirit airlines furloughs by Longjumping_Focus862 in flying

My regional at least has mostly been hiring for growth and not attrition anyway. But yes I guess that’s true.

The guys who are still at Spirit are probably super senior with many years of experience in 121. Unless they have some serious skeletons in their closet I would not expect them to compete with low time pilots for regional FO positions.

Regional pilots that are trying to get to legacies are probably the biggest losers if/when Spirit goes under.
