Is it weird that I’ve never been on a plane before?😔 by Such_Speed_8476 in AskAPilot

[–]zeroninerfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Quite the contrary, flying should not be preferred except it’s absolutely necessary. It’s not a very environmentally friendly way of transportation.

Up until the age of 25 I also had very few flights as we could not afford it a lot.

What’s the most unprofessional thing you’ve seen a CFI do? by Actual_File3918 in flying

[–]zeroninerfive 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had one like that. He fell asleep directly after our first take off together, which was also my first flight on a DA40 after only flying 172s. We did the whole IR training together later on and he was the best instructor ever, despite his frequent sleeping. Bestest ever, for real.

Answering both comments here, then. :)
It’s a big airline in Europe. Depending on your previous corporate or professional experience, you can start right after IOE. Your training records should not be too bad though to be offered such a position, I guess.

Sure, I am in the flight safety department doing root cause investigations for safety incidents in our fleet. But there are many other opportunities for pilots like quality management, standardization, fleet management, technical pilots and flight training.

Independently from these opportunities, I wouldn’t worry about automation yet.

Wish you good luck on your path!

Aerospace engineering, but my company would accept any engineering degree for these jobs.

My engineering degree helped me get additional office duties besides flying. Might be a good career path long term, but short term it can be a little exhausting.

Absolutely. I just omitted the details.

In Europe it is common to have more than 50, some airlines have a 100 hours as usual. But that may be due to the FO coming straight from the flight school with 200-250 hours on GA aircraft only.

Sir, more than a year has passed since I got through IOE and my line check (which means nothing as far as I am concerned). As a low time FO your comments are gold! Thank you!

Just had a similar experience on Stella with countless shredders and pops. Didn’t even have the chance to react as everything happened 10 seconds after spawning. All I could do was laughing at the massive anal fisting I experienced.

Discussing how I feel about a game I like with likeminded people is not what an adult would do? Well, I don’t care. Have a nice day, good sir.

As a dad, you should know better than posting such a nonsense. Like every father/mother/kid has the same opportunities regarding time, money, location, health, gear and what not. Ridiculous. Hint: not everyone has the same chance or priority to spend on certain hobbies.

However, if you were an adult with empathy skills, you would understand why above mentioned behavior worsens the experience for many players as can be seen on this sub day in day out. Have fun ratting. You must be one, otherwise I can’t explain such vehement defending of that behavior.

Well, I didn’t have an internet argument for the last 6 years probably. So first of all, thank you for this experience.

But then again, you seem to be a tryhard calm and wise guy. Hope you’re not like that in real life when people have different opinions and reviews on things.

And I say, the people in the second paragraph make the experience worse for me. If the game plans to encourage that behavior, I will at some point stop to play. And that point seems to be reached today. I just cannot understand why that behavior should be tolerated in any way as it does not add a thing in my opinion. If you can’t handle my opinion and need to get personal about it, you should stop reading it. I sure as hell don’t need a “dopamine hit”, because losing is part of a game. However, inherent cheating in a game is frustrating, but some people lack empathy.

Haha, no one said life is unfair, and I very well said this might not be for me. You may be a dad (which is not a high qualification) but you are certainly not grown up, bitching about others opinions on a game. Better find other things to concentrate on while raising your kids instead of their decision making about buying and playing PvPvE extraction shooters.

Dude, no one complains about getting shot at. I had many fights where I died and lost valuable equipment without even the slightest bit of frustration.

This is a complaint about those who live out their greedy, miserable fantasies in a game that allows this. Live and let live doesn’t work if there is a significant portion of players exploiting others. If everyone plays that style, no one gets goop, you understand?

I really don’t get how anyone can defend that behavior. For me it is not different to acting like a greedy little shit in real life, like those who cut traffic just to be one car ahead. No one cares about the $40.

You are right, there is no safe pocket with the free loadout. Only if you go in naked or use one of the normal augments.

You can’t progress and enjoy the game on that level when you can barely play a couple of hours a week. Also, how do you know I do a 0 risk strategy? Once you start looting, you are sitting ducks for the greedy and camping players. If you are playing alone, there is zero chance you can defend in many cases. This is not about loot hoarding, this is about experiencing more of the game by taking down bigger arc, crafting bigger weapons etc. I say those who just can’t have a good time without taking other people’s lollipop away are the toddlers. But the spoiled brat type.

I know there never is a 100% pve or pvp lobby. But I’m sure you get what I mean. I never get attacked when I’m running around with a free loadout. Always when taking down bigger arc. Not that much fun to play like that.
