If you'd be stuck in a crappy job like his with zero potential career progression, you would be bitter too.

The FAA is very clear - rest has to be defined in advance. The old days of "we didn't call you so that was your rest" are over. FAA will go full Ezekiel 25:17 on shops that try to pull crap like that.

I work 2-3 days a week, no overnights, no weekends, most of the days I work I spend home (avg. 3-4 hours of flying per working day). And I make about the same as you. Your gig sounds pretty horrible.

Original point was stretching bolts. That's nowhere near those levels.

That's what's called "super knock", it won't happen inside an O200. Maybe a highly stressed turbocharged engine, but not a N/A engine. To have that sort of effect, you've had a thermal runaway inside the cylinder chamber.

What temps? CHTs or EGTs?

You were taught wrong. Detonation is _supersonic_ combustion. The process is _ALWAYS_ subsonic = deflagration, never detonation. The flame front NEVER exceeds the speed of sound. Detonation is an old term that was used when people had no idea what actually was going on. The reason why it...

"Detonation". You clearly have no clue what happens inside an engine. (No, detonation never happens inside a piston engine, but I'll humor the incorrect term for this). Just FYI: It has NOTHING to do with stretching bolts. Knocking/detonation/whatever you want to call it happens AFTER the...

You're off by a couple of hours... SFO-SIN is 16, LAX-SIN is 17 hours. Usually a bit less. I wouldn't mind doing that in First. But I think only United flies those routes non-stop, and United is godawful in any class.

It's the haircut. Ohboy!

I'm curious - why is this relevant for a HIV positive airman?

I might have to backpedal on this one, looks like I'm overnighting in HOU friday... :/

Nowhere near enough to explain the failure.

You think there are 207's left with 9k TT? :) I flew one with 40k.

That's a Series 10 /45.

Oww, be careful with that. You can't just "charge people for rides", there are a lot of limitations on what kind of rides you can offer without a 119.

My C150 insurance dropped $0.00 when I got my instrument, and $0.00 when I got my commercial.

I'm in.

Nah. Livermore is nothing. Livermore on a VERY busy day is like Deer Valley (or many other real training fields) on a very quiet day.
