I don’t think they will for the reasons already mentioned. I don’t think the initial investment is bad considering career total income possible. All one needs is to get to commercial then they can get flying jobs to ATP mins. I started flight instructing at 19 and by 20 was flying a 400 series...

I read an article in the Twin Cessna flyer a while back of a 340 in Canada that couldn’t maintain altitude in the mountain west. Think severe icing encounter? They went below ATC’s radar and used synthetic vision to get between mountain peaks and eventually broke out to land. I’ve toyed with...

Haven’t had a chance to look back and reply. In general. SWA 737’s going to MDW may enter and leave but MDW is a class C. The ORD class B isn’t designed to protect that airport. Does result in fast moving airliners below the B. ORD arrivals USUALLY stay in. Sometimes we get too busy and they...

How/when was it modified?

I was referencing the actual travelers and not training planes. Your Bonanza, Saratoga, Mooney, 210, etc class are all around 60ish. I just wagged a range encompassing that on the low end and what true airspeed would be at the top of the mountains. Easily up in the upper 70’s in summer (Rockies...

I’d rather auto into your mountain than hit it at 60-85 knots in a fixed wing single.

The ten buck increase took you over the edge? :)

Considering we are there 6 days a week…it’s a good bet. :)

Congrats @Groundpounder !! Hope you enjoy it.

I’d bet y’all are the minority. Guessing the stat doesn’t exist but I’d guess it’s in the 20% range. *Talking hard IMC where redundancy matters.

To piggy back off your redundancy comment as I thought the same when I saw it… Wonder what percentage of 40 plus year old single engine GA planes ever fly IFR/IMC?

If you can speak English (loosely) and have the ratings you’ll be fine. Don’t waste your money. My $0.02

I hear you and used to advocate for them. It’s been 4-5 years now and State Farm still smokes them on home/auto. Not even close. Even considering their yearly rebate deposit. Could be state/location specific?

I had USAA for 20 years. Thought they were good rates for military and all…started to wonder when I saw all the high priced commercials during big sporting events. About 5 years ago left them for auto and home and saved a lot of money. Had zero claims, reported tickets and max credit score...

He mentions “political and geopolitical turmoil” in a general sense. You told him with specificity that his current increase has “nothing to do with that particular individual”. How could you possibly know? Did telling Putin, while his forces were amassed, that America would not send troops...

Having grown up in God’s country, dinner was when you ate in the evening at the fancy table. Supper was all the other evening meals at the normal table. Breakfast/lunch were always breakfast/lunch.

I enjoyed Neal Boortz even more. He was a pilot and kept several planes in the ATL area. Bring on a Flat Tax. :)

I’m not sure we all agree on that. Can you show me a regulation that supports your position?

I’d pull the copilot DG. Put CDI 2 there and engine monitor in CDI 2 spot.

I didn’t realize you had a say in controller pay…always thought that was contractual/President/Congress. While I hear the pilot side of your brain clearly whining, I have to hope the MD side knows all 70 people at a facility aren’t the same. Some give Bravo clearances when able, most all give...
