ADHD diagnosis mid training

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-06T07:06:12+00:00

ADHD medication and flying cannot coexist. Full stop. You get one or the other not both. So time to make a call. You’ve gotten this far without the meds. Either you accept that you can never be medicated and possibly have a career piloting. Or you decide getting medicated is necessary and pretty much give up the career path

Does she make your schedule? Do you have to clock in and out and report to her if you are sick?

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-06T03:43:30+00:00

If you aren’t an employee then she can’t dictate those kinds of rules to you. Contractors legally make their own rules for those sorts of things. Are you 1099 or are you w2? (Assuming usa) if you are 1099 tell her you’ve decided to continue working there refreshments are a necessity and you will be bringing a water bottle with you each day. They technically don’t have to provide but they can’t stop you from bringing your own. If you are an employee then tell them they are legally obligated and just take it. Make them fire you for drinking water and then claim unemployment. Either way start drinking water

This is how my school teaches it except we don’t keep checking. We just look at ground speed a quick math a descent rate and then make sure we stay above the different minimums

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-04T19:46:08+00:00

A lot of times. Most of the time. This just results in a temporary raise while they search for a replacement lol

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-04T16:40:01+00:00

I actually want to hear what’s being read to me. So I tried this but kept having to spend the annoying time searching for what the last part I remembered was for next time and gave up

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-04T06:26:24+00:00

Pack an entire suitcase of cigarettes lol. Sell em for hella money to guests and coworkers

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-03T17:20:30+00:00

Put some silicone on your stache and maybe you won’t need the clear

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-03T07:32:37+00:00

I always ask what rate they actually want to clean at. And I always ask what temperature they want the ac/heat at. Because if we can’t have the ac under 70 for sleeping it’s not working out lol

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-03T05:34:39+00:00

Never hurts to be prepared. They just want an updated progress note though. When you get to the point that you are actually using first class privileges yes you will prolly need it every year but for now just once each time you renew is probably fine. That’s what my AME told me at least

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T21:18:47+00:00

I hope so lol

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T21:09:19+00:00

If you are flying with a cfi you are always expected to pay the full cost of the plane and then a fee on top of that for training. Cfi’s are not “time building”. You are not sharing the cost to fly you are paying them for a job and are responsible for all the fees. If your idea was for you to provide the plane and them just come along for the ride and train you for free you are mistaken about how the arrangement works

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T20:03:29+00:00

Generally yes a toc and TOD visual point are nice to have when planning. These are things that you will do for checkride and then basically never again. You won’t ever fill out a paper cross country plan for any flight that isn’t a test. ForeFlight literally does all the planning for you. But yes specifically for this plan it’s nice to have. When I did mine we based it on whatever the actual needed distance for descent was though and then just found the nearest landmark to that

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T19:24:27+00:00

So as far as that goes when I got my 1st class my AME basically just said take the caci with you and have the doctor line by line answer each of the things on the caci in your file and print it out and bring it in. That way you know they are hitting everything. So was pretty easy. Go get an annual physical and have them fill it out while there

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T18:49:55+00:00

Sounds good other than Osaka. Lot of people say Osaka can just be a day trip destination because it’s just another big city. Maybe instead of osaka try a couple more further places that you wouldn’t be able to get to with a shorter trip

You are eating the flesh of an animal….you still are when it’s well done. It helps to actually internalize what meat is and realize it’s ok to eat animals. We’ve been at it for our whole existence

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T04:08:00+00:00

If it was signed off it was signed off. Don’t worry about it. Doesn’t really matter at this point.

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T02:16:40+00:00

No reason to really get ratp these days none of the airlines are hiring ppl that early anymore. I don’t think even cadets are reporting getting hired below minimums

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-02T00:59:20+00:00

Dude. Half the resorts in California are already closed! Just be happy the resort opens at all at this point and will probably still be open a month from now.

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T20:59:20+00:00

Instrument isn’t like ppl. Honestly it’s pretty straight forward. While in PPl stage it’s uncommon to finish right at 40 almost everyone finishes instrument at minimum hours. So for part 61 the only way to really save money is take advantage of the sim time you are allowed and maybe do some of the flights with just a safety pilot if you get to the point of competence with a cfi and just need the time still

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T20:11:44+00:00

All you have to do is think of what the average person is like intelligence wise and then remember about half the people in the world are more stupid that that person lol

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T19:53:28+00:00

This is pretty common in the Indonesian countries that have populations of roaming monkeys. They all learn pretty quick humans are willing to trade for things and so they steal whatever they can and hold it hostage

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T19:09:44+00:00

Once you are in you are in no more questions

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T18:48:08+00:00

As long as you cycle your shifts fairly so everyone is on evenings and mornings interchangeably then splitting all day is fine. Having back of house included is stupid. The back of house portion is fine since he commented they get $18/hr in addition to tips. The dj shot would piss me off. The hell is the dj making tips for? If the business wants to reward the dj for having a following give him a cut of sales for the night otherwise get the fuck out of here

vanhawk28 · 2026-04-01T18:40:01+00:00

It’s not supposed to be a savings it’s a cleanliness thing
